The generic x86 code has to know if the specific implementation uses Nested
Paging. In the generic code Nested Paging is called Hardware Assisted Paging
(HAP) to avoid confusion with (future) HAP implementations of other vendors.
This patch exports the availability of HAP to the generic x86 code.

To help with bisecting, you should probably return false here until the patch that actually implements NPT support. Otherwise, the 7th patch in this series breaks KVM for SVM.

Ignore this, you're already doing the right thing :-)
