It will also try to enable VMX if feature control MSR is not locked by BIOS.
Please see below code:

"

And if feature control MSR is locked, kernel cannot truly enable anything, but
can only print out msg in case BIOS disabled either VMX, or SGX, or SGX_LC, and
kernel wants to support that.

Does this make sense to you?

Thanks.
