That actually makes far more sense. I was kind of puzzled as to how it
would work if they were per VM :-)

sys/x86/include/specialreg.h and sys/x86/x86/cpu_machdep.c

Those are in your original patch as well as the change
to sys/amd64/amd64/initcpu.c, but your email earlier only
patches sys/amd64/amd64/initcpu.c and not the others.

So I assumed I would keep the changes to the other two files ?
