Gracefully handle faults on VMXON, e.g. #GP due to VMX being disabled by BIOS, instead of letting the fault crash the system. Now that KVM uses cpufeatures to query support instead of reading MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL directly, it's possible for a bug in a different subsystem to cause KVM to incorrectly attempt VMXON[*]. Crashing the system is especially annoying if the system is configured such that hardware_enable() will be triggered during boot. Oppurtunistically rename @addr to @vmxon_pointer and use a named param to reference it in the inline assembly. Print 0xdeadbeef in the ultra-"rare" case that reading MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL also faults.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
