This looks like http://www.sandpile.org/x86/cpuid.htm#level_4000_0000h

Do we have to say 'KVM'(does Linux look for that specifically)?  I
notice that there are a bunch of other ones, like VMwareVMware.

There are some other cool things in the 0x4000_xxxx section of cpuid

Does that mean that a cpuid of e.g. 0x4000_0300 should return the same
value as 0x4000_0000?  That sounds pretty odd.
