You're right, that's indeed much cleaner! Thanks.
This also prevents me from needing the "nested" parameter in x86.c (which I
don't have now that I've moved it to vmx.c).
The fixed patch:
-------
Subject: [PATCH 2/24] Add VMX and SVM to list of supported cpuid features
Add the "VMX" CPU feature to the list of CPU featuress KVM advertises with
the KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl (unless the "nested" module option is off).
Qemu uses this ioctl, and intersects KVM's list with its own list of desired
cpu features (depending on the -cpu option given to qemu) to determine the
final list of features presented to the guest.
