[PATCH v4 15/21] KVM: selftests: Allow kvm_cpu_has_ept() to be called on AMD CPUs

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Tue Dec 30 2025 - 18:02:19 EST


From: Yosry Ahmed <yosry.ahmed@xxxxxxxxx>

In preparation for generalizing the nested dirty logging test, checking
if either EPT or NPT is enabled will be needed. To avoid needing to gate
the kvm_cpu_has_ept() call by the CPU type, make sure the function
returns false if VMX is not available instead of trying to read VMX-only
MSRs.

No functional change intended.
