SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: VMX: Don't advertise EPT switching if EPT itself is not exposed
Following the same line of reasoning, what if
vmx->nested.nested_vmx_secondary_ctls_high is 0 after clearing
SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VMFUNC? Does it make sense to report
CPU_BASED_ACTIVATE_SECONDARY_CONTROLS if we don't actually support any
of the secondary controls?
