This patch forgot to adapt the kvmclock code to also use the detected
kvm cpuid base.  Updated patch below.

take care,

Subject: [PATCH 1/6] better kvm detection

In case kvm emulates features of another hypervisor (for example hyperv)
two VMM CPUID blocks will be present, one for the emulated hypervisor
and one for kvm itself.

This patch makes seabios loop over the VMM CPUID blocks to make sure it
will properly detect kvm when multiple blocks are present.
