Actually I don't think this one should be para virtualized at all.
I don't see any reason at all why a hypervisor should trap it and it
is very time critical. I would recommend you move it back into the
normal files without hooks.
When VT/AMDV is enabled, cpuid could cause a vm exit, so it would be
nice to use one of the other serializing instructions in this case. For
the default implementation, it should probably be an explicit
asm("cpuid") to make it clear that we don't want any paravirtualized cpuid.
