There is no need to explicitly specify the CR4_VMXE bit when writing to guest

CR4. This bit is specific to the Intel VTX and removing it makes the library
more portable to AMD/SVM.

In the Intel VTX implementation, the hypervisor will ensure that this bit is
always set. See vmx_fix_cr4() for details.
