Ugh, so this isn't safe on MPX capable CPUs, kvm_apic_accept_events() can
trigger kvm_vcpu_reset() with @init_event=true and try to unload guest_fpu.

We could hack around that issue, but it'd be ugly, and I'm also concerned
that calling vmx_vcpu_reset() without guest_fpu loaded will be problematic
in the future with all the things that are getting managed by XSAVE.
