[Xen-changelog] Enable CR4.VME to improve the performance of vm86 emulation.

[Xen patchbot -unstable <patchbot-unstable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

# HG changeset patch
# User kaf24@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Node ID 637127cded4ea46aacea378fc93e274c6cf02da7
# Parent  9d2ca2da280ec34c09ceed6ac583586357000d09

Enable CR4.VME to improve the performance of vm86 emulation. 

Setting this bit eliminates the calls to the vm86 monitor to handle
interrupts and exceptions that occur while executing programs in vm86
mode.
