    We actually do not do anything about it. Just return a default
    value of zero and if the kernel tries to write anything but 0
    we BUG_ON.
    
    This fixes the case when an user tries to suspend the machine
    and it blows up in save_processor_state b/c 'read_cr8' is set
    to NULL and we get:
