[PATCH 0/9] KVM: VMX: EPTP cleanups and nVMX fixes

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

This started as a trivial series to cleanup KVM's handling of EPTPs in
anticipation of eliding TLB flushes on task migration[*], but then I made the
mistake of trying to test the nested_early_check change, and things snowballed.

Long story short, nested_early_check is obviously not being used as it's been
broken for years, and it's not adding value.  E.g. doesn't help us find KVM
bugs, and doesn't provide any meaningful protection for KVM (especially since
no one is using it).

So, I opted to fix nested_early_check, and then rip it out and replace it with
a param that can be enabled by developers/maintainers to find KVM bugs (which
in hindsight is what we should have done from the beginning).  I went through
the effort of fixing nested_early_check so that in the unlikely case someone
wants to resurrect it, they should have a working commit to jump back to.
