    KVM: nVMX: Prepare for using hardware MSR bitmap · 3af18d9c
    Wincy Van authored
    Currently, if L1 enables MSR_BITMAP, we will emulate this feature, all
    of L2's msr access is intercepted by L0.  Features like "virtualize
    x2apic mode" require that the MSR bitmap is enabled, or the hardware
    will exit and for example not virtualize the x2apic MSRs.  In order to
    let L1 use these features, we need to build a merged bitmap that only
    not cause a VMEXIT if 1) L1 requires that 2) the bit is not required by
    the processor for APIC virtualization.
    
    For now the guests are still run with MSR bitmap disabled, but this
    patch already introduces nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap for future use.
