On Xen PV, CPUID is likely to trap, and Xen hypercalls aren't
guaranteed to serialize.  (Even CPUID isn't *really* guaranteed to
serialize on Xen PV, but, in practice, any trap it generates will
serialize.)

On my laptop, CPUID(eax=1, ecx=0) is ~83ns and IRET-to-self is
~110ns.  But Xen PV will trap CPUID if possible, so IRET-to-self
should end up being a nice speedup.
