Unfortunately the 3.0.3 hypervisor is stricter in what it will allow CR4
to be set to than necessary and won't allow some of the fields which
newer kernels use. I think we are unlikely to fix this in the kernel in
Debian. You could ask upstream but I'm not sure they would want/be able
to change this behaviour.
