Hi, Sean,

I sent above change request to Gil(added in cc), but he shared different 
opinion on this issue:


"It is the case that all CET-capable parts enumerate IA32_VMX_BASIC[56] 
as 1.

  However, there were earlier parts without CET that enumerated 
IA32_VMX_BASIC[56] as 0.

  On those parts, an attempt to inject an exception with vector 21 (#CP) 
with an error code would fail.

(Injection of exception 21 with no error code would be allowed.)

  It may make things clearer if we document the statement above (all 
CET-capable parts enumerate IA32_VMX_BASIC[56] as 1).

I will see if we can update future revisions of the SDM to clarify this."


Then if this is the case,  kvm needs to check IA32_VMX_BASIC[56] before 
inject exception to nested VM.

And this patch could be removed, instead need another patch like below:
