Well, that's what it is in Hyper-V world and so far we didn't give it
another meaning in KVM but in theory it is not impossible, e.g. we can
use this area to speed up nested KVM on KVM.

AMD calls this "Reserved for Host usage" so we can probably rename it to 
'reserved_host' but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle...

Oh that's a good one, thanks! This could've been a hard to debug issue.
