I don't think it's a bug, it's intentionally different.  When enable_ept=0,
nested_has_guest_tlb_tag() returns true if and only if L1 has enabled VPID
for L2 *and* L2 has been assigned a unique VPID by L0.

For sync purposes, whether or not L2 has been assigned a unique VPID is
irrelevant.  L0 needs to invalidate TLB entries to prevent resuing L1's
entries (assuming L1 has been assigned a VPID), but L0 doesn't need to sync
SPTEs because L2 doesn't expect them to be refreshed.

Ya, agreed.
