    SVM: avoid VMSAVE in ctxt-switch-to
    
    Of the state saved by the insn and reloaded by the corresponding VMLOAD
    - TR and syscall state are invariant while having Xen's state loaded,
    - sysenter is unused altogether by Xen,
    - FS, GS, and LDTR are not used by Xen and get suitably set in PV
      context switch code.
    Note that state is suitably populated in _svm_cpu_up(); a minimal
    respective assertion gets added.
