(In theory, threre's also EVMCS1_UNSUPPORTED_VMFUNC filtering out
VMX_VMFUNC_EPTP_SWITCHING (as eVMCS EPTP_LIST_ADDRESS) but it is not
used by KVM)

As I said in another thread, I think this is fine as a
stable@/intermediate fix. Assuming the way to go for mainline is my
"KVM: nVMX: Use vmcs_config for setting up nested VMX MSRs", this patch
won't be needed and can be reverted.
