Commit 1e02ce4cccdc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")
introduced CR4 shadows.

These shadows are initialized in early boot code. The commit missed
initialization for 64-bit PV(H) guests that this patch adds.
Applied to stable/for-linus-4.0, thanks.

Boris, can you kick of a set of tests on this branch, please?
Do we know worst case what should blow up without this commit ?

PVH guest will crash.
