Sean Christopherson 23f079c249 KVM: VMX: Refuse to load kvm_intel if EPT and NX are disabled
Refuse to load KVM if NX support is not available and EPT is not enabled.
Shadow paging has assumed NX support since commit 9167ab7993 ("KVM:
vmx, svm: always run with EFER.NXE=1 when shadow paging is active"), so
for all intents and purposes this has been a de facto requirement for
over a year.

Do not require NX support if EPT is enabled purely because Intel CPUs let
firmware disable NX support via MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLES.  If not for that,
VMX (and KVM as a whole) could require NX support with minimal risk to
breaking userspace.

Fixes: 9167ab7993 ("KVM: vmx, svm: always run with EFER.NXE=1 when shadow paging is active")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
