Detect VirtualPC or VMWARE [ASM]

redpill uses sidt to detect relocated IDT table, i heard it doesnt work on newer VMWares, VirtualPC detection method sux, lock cmpxchg8b , from my observation it hangs up pentium cpu's and even SEH frame wont help you (hmm but not this one, it doesnt use cmpxchg8b... i must be not high enough)

Also redpill execute code on stack. This program will be immediately terminated under 64-bit enwironment by date execution prevention technology in Windows XP

running code from the stack is not important there, it's just done so you could compile the program with many c compilers (no inline asm)
