For the pstate.UAO, current code has issue from my test. Because after 
switching from guest os, it does not set pstate.UAO again.
PAN is set again in your previous patch when switch to host, but UAO is not.
If you have concern about the save/restore PSTATE bits, may be we can use below 
modification to fix UAO issue.
