Clear the PCR on boot to ensure we are not running in a compat mode. We've seen this cause problems when a crash (and kdump) occurs while running compat mode guests. The kdump kernel then runs with the PCR set and causes problems. The symptom in the kdump kernel (also seen in petitboot after fast-reboot) is early userspace programs taking sigills on newer instructions (seen in libc).
