KVM: SVM: Allow setting the SVME bit
Normally setting the SVME bit in EFER is not allowed, as we did not support SVM. Not since we do, we should also allow enabling SVM mode. v2 comes as last patch, so we don't enable half-ready code v4 introduces a module option to enable SVM v6 warns that nesting is enabled Acked-by: Joerg Roedel <joro@8bytes.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
