 nvmm: remove cpuid leaf 0x40000010
 * given the lapic bit disabled, (PR/59424) [1]
   this leaf doesn't seem to have much benefit anymore.
   as nvmm is used in other platforms, (dragonfly bsd)
   it's better to avoid guest ABI changes without clear benefits.
 * I couldn't find any documenation about what RBX=0 means.
   (vmware or kvm)
 
 we can revisit this when/if someone comes up with a better
 implementation. (probably userland-assisted one)
 discussed on source-changes-d. [2]
