We export msr_bitmap to guest even it is not supported by hardware. So we
need to allocate msr_bitmap for L1 unconditionally.

We do emulate the feature, but the vmx->nested.msr_bitmap is used only
if VMX supports it to avoid some VM exits:

The else branch is taken if !cpu_has_vmx_msr_bitmap() and disables msr
bitmaps.  Similar check for vmx_set_msr_bitmap(), so the NULL doesn't
even get written to VMCS.

KVM always uses L1's msr bitmaps when emulating the feature.


Yes, you are right. I forget the bitmap only used by hardware.:(
