Viridian's CPUID leaves live at the same place as Xen's do (the idea
being, that's where you look to find out which hypervisor is running).
When we expose both interfaces, we need to move the Xen ones to a
different set of leaves. When PV-on-HVM drivers find a hypervisor at
0x40000000 that isn't the one they were expecting, they should keep
looking at 0x100 increments until they find either the one they want or
zero.
