Trying to reboot via real mode fails with PCID on: long mode cannot
be exited while CR4.PCIDE is set. (No, I have no idea why, but the
SDM and actual CPUs are in agreement here.) The result is a GPF and
a hang instead of a reboot.
I didn't catch this in testing because neither my computer nor my VM
reboots this way. I can trigger it with reboot=bios, though.
