From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

On Intel CPUs writing the CSTAR MSR is not really needed. Syscalls
from 32bit work using SYSENTER and 32bit SYSCALL is an illegal opcode.
But the kernel did write it anyways even though it was ignored by
the CPU. Inside a TDX guest this actually leads to a #GP. While the #GP
is caught and recovered from, it prints an ugly message at boot.
Do not write the CSTAR MSR on Intel CPUs.
