Re: [PATCH 0/8] kvm: nVMX: Checkpoint/restore support for VMX state

At the very least, it needs to know the following to do a page walk:

a) Are the secondary processor based VM-execution controls activated
in the pimary processor based execution controls?
b) If so, is EPT enabled?
c) If so, what is the current EPTP?

I don't believe these are available through any existing mechanism.
