Well, it is enough but it takes 2 minutes to reach the point where
hardware virtualization is used.  It is doing a lot of stuff in
emulation mode because FS and GS have leftovers from the A20 test:

FS =0000 0000000000000000 0000ffff 00009300 DPL=0 DS16 [-WA]
GS =ffff 00000000000ffff0 0000ffff 00009300 DPL=0 DS16 [-WA]

0x00000000000113be:  in     $0x92,%al
0x00000000000113c0:  or     $0x2,%al
0x00000000000113c2:  out    %al,$0x92
0x00000000000113c4:  xor    %ax,%ax
0x00000000000113c6:  mov    %ax,%fs
0x00000000000113c8:  dec    %ax
0x00000000000113c9:  mov    %ax,%gs
0x00000000000113cb:  inc    %ax
0x00000000000113cc:  mov    %ax,%fs:0x200
0x00000000000113d0:  cmp    %gs:0x210,%ax
0x00000000000113d5:  je     0x113cb

The DPL < RPL test fails.  Any ideas?  Should we introduce a new
intermediate value for emulate_invalid_guest_state (0=none, 1=some, 2=full)?
