Jan Kiszka - March 2, 2011, 7:56 a.m.
This is required to support keeping VCPU states across a system reset.
If we do not read the current state before the reset,
cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset may write back incorrect state
information.

The first user of this will be MCE MSR synchronization which currently
works around the missing cpu_synchronize_all_states.
