kvm_intel fails to load on CPUs running Linux 4.12 or later

[Jason R Begley]

I see that this has been discussed before, but I have ran into the same 
problem recently after trying kernel 4.13.6 and the kvm_intel module 
would not load. I stumbled across an article from Sat, 5 Aug 2017 
21:26:42 with the same issue. Is there any way to fix this? Below is a
