No, no more stabbing in the dark and no more brown paper bags.

Please check whether CPUID(4) works that early in any xen guest and
let's add that check to a function which does something like:

bool loader_disabled(void)
{
        if (running_on_a_xen_guest)
                return true;

        if (check_loader_disabled_bsp())
                return true;

        if (!have_cpuid_p())
                return true;

        return false;

}

and call that at the entry points and be done with it.

Or if there's some other clean method to detect I'm running on a xen
guest.

Thanks.
