I think it's worth expanding the comment to clarify that "supported for nesting"
just means allowing them in vmcs12. Most controls are fully emulated and so are
never set in vmcs02 even when they're turned on by L1. Something like?

/*
* Not used by KVM and never set in vmcs01 or vmcs02, but emulated for
* nested virtualization and thus allowed to be set in vmcs12.
*/
