So, for CPUID, the SDM (Table 3-17. Information Returned by CPUID) says today:
"No existing or future CPU will return processor identification or
feature information if the initial EAX value is in the range 40000000H
to 4FFFFFFFH."

We can define a cross-VM CPUID range from there. The CPUID can return
the index of the MSR if needed.
