SVM reserved bits tests hangs in a infinite loop. The test uses the
instruction 'rdtsc' to generate the random reserved bits. It hangs
while generating the valid reserved bits.

The AMD64 Architecture Programmers Manual Volume 2: System
Programming manual says, When using the TSC to measure elapsed time,
programmers must be aware that for some implementations, the rate at
which the TSC is incremented varies based on the processor power
management state (Pstate). For other implementations, the TSC
increment rate is fixed and is not subject to power-management
related changes in processor frequency.

In AMD gen3 machine, the rdtsc value is a P state multiplier.
Here are the rdtsc value in 10 sucessive reads.
0 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919b9710
1 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c01f0
2 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c0f70
3 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c18d0
4 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c2060
5 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c28d0
6 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c30b0
7 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c5660
8 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c6150
9 rdtsc = 0x1ec92919c7c80

This test uses the lower nibble and right shifts to generate the
valid reserved bit. It loops forever because the lower nibble is always
zero.

Fixing the issue with replacing rdrand instruction if available or
skipping the test if we cannot generate the valid reserved bits.
