I think the reference to the BIOS should remain in these messages and in svm.c (even though these days it's much less common for vendors to default to disabled virtualization in the system setup).

The check for X86_FEATURE_MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL is not needed because init_ia32_feat_ctl() will clear X86_FEATURE_VMX if the rdmsr fail (and not set X86_FEATURE_MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL).
