lguest: fix crash 'unhandled trap 13 at <native_read_msr_safe>'
 
Impact: fix lguest boot crash on modern Intel machines

The code in early_init_intel does:

	if (c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 0xd)) {
		u64 misc_enable;

		rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE, misc_enable);

And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL).  We can get around
this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid.  5 seems like a good
number.

Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!).  We could just indicate
that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.
