On AMD CPUs sometimes the DB bit in the stack segment
descriptor is left as 1, although the whole segment has
been made unusable. Clear it here to pass an Intel VMX
entry check when cross vendor migrating.

Avi, if possible, push this also to 2.6.30. My cross vendor migration tests
do not pass without this, so if you want cross vendor migration in 2.6.30,
this is a must.

Regards,
Andre.
