I couldn't find any text in the APM that describes the effect of unsetting EFER.SVME on the virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE. Is this the expected behavior of the SVM hardware or is this a bug in KVM and KVM should handle this ?
The guest always runs with EFER.SVME=1 (it's part of the VMRUN requirements), so yeah, vVMLOAD/VMSAVE must be enabled only if the guest has EFER.SVME=1. Nice!
