This patch makes use of IA32_PAT MSR to emulate cache disabled behaviour
When the guest is requesting to set CR0.CD:
- Keep guest's CR0.CD and CR0.NW bits unchanged
- Write IA32_PAT MSR with all-UC entries to change the effective memory
type for all GPA to UC for the guest VCPU
- It depends on trapping wrmsr to IA32_PAT to prevent any entry in
IA32_PAT being changed to non UC type by the guest
When the guest is requesting to clear CR0.CD:
- restore the content of guest's IA32_PAT MSR

Preparing for emulating guest's CR0.CD and CR0.NW bits:
- Intercept both rdmsr and wrmsr for IA32_PAT
- Track guest's IA32_PAT MSR with vcpu.arch_vcpu.contexts.ia32_pat

check IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP MSR to see if ept execution only capability
is supported or not
