Subject[PATCH 0/2] KVM: VMX: Sanitize VM-Entry/VM-Exit pairs during setup
From
Sanitize the VM-Entry/VM-Exit load+load and load+clear pairs when kvm_intel
is loaded instead of checking both controls at runtime. Not sanitizing
means KVM ends up setting non-dynamic bits in the VMCS.

Add an opt-in knob to force kvm_intel to bail if an inconsistent pair is
detected instead of using a degraded and/or potentially broken setup.

Arguably patch 01 is stable material, but my mental coin flip came up
negative and I didn't Cc: stable.

And for patch 02, I'd definitely be favor of making it opt-out instead of
opt-in, but there's a non-zero chance that someone out there is running
KVM in a misconfigured VM...
