guest_cpuid_has is slow. Please replace it with a test on
secondary_exec_controls_get(vmx).

Are you going to look into nested virtualization support? This should
include only 1) allowing setting the enable bit in secondary execution
controls, and passing it through in prepare_vmcs02_early; 2) reflecting
the vmexit in nested_vmx_exit_reflected.

Thanks,

Paolo
