I'm okay with the way Wanpeng wrote it, but as a follow up this:

        if (!cpu_has_vmx_ept() ||
            !cpu_has_vmx_ept_4levels() ||
            !cpu_has_vmx_ept_mt_wb()) {
                enable_ept = 0;
                enable_unrestricted_guest = 0;
                enable_ept_ad_bits = 0;
        }

can be reduced to just "enable_ept = 0".
