Generally I see no problem with it. But at least for NPT I don't see a

Unless there is a real-life workload that benefits from npt=0, I see no reason to have per-vm npt control. The module parameter is helpful, for to isolate npt problems and for development, but I don't see a need for users to fiddle with it.
