Ackerley Tng 8264e85560 KVM: selftests: Adjust VM's initial stack address to align with SysV ABI spec
Align the guest stack to match calling sequence requirements in
section "The Stack Frame" of the System V ABI AMD64 Architecture
Processor Supplement, which requires the value (%rsp + 8), NOT %rsp,
to be a multiple of 16 when control is transferred to the function
entry point. I.e. in a normal function call, %rsp needs to be 16-byte
aligned _before_ CALL, not after.

This fixes unexpected #GPs in guest code when the compiler uses SSE
instructions, e.g. to initialize memory, as many SSE instructions
require memory operands (including those on the stack) to be
16-byte-aligned.
