btw follow Paolo's suggestion here:

He prefers to disabling xfd interception in vmx specific code instead of introducing a new callback to be called in common code. Since we want to always trap #NM after xfd interception is disabled (which is done after calling the msr common code), it also reads cleaner to call update_exception_bitmap() from vmx.c instead of here.
Thanks Kevin
