Back in October when I was trying to get this working it was suspected that issue with the T7700 was the lack of ept and vpid. Possibly lack of vt-d too.
Given all the variations I think it would be more reliable and a better community experience to report known working CPUs than pointing to lists like the VTList page at Intel. Of course, that implies someone volunteering to be a gatekeeper to collect, collate, and report that information, and keep it up to date.
