VNMI feature allows the hypervisor to inject NMI into the guest w/o using Event injection mechanism, The benefit of using VNMI over the event Injection that does not require tracking the Guest's NMI state and intercepting the IRET for the NMI completion. VNMI achieves that by exposing 3 capability bits in VMCB intr_cntrl which helps with virtualizing NMI injection and NMI_Masking. The presence of this feature is indicated via the CPUID function 0x8000000A_EDX[25].
