Sure, and ack on unit test is part of development work.

This patch set had always been unit tested before sent out, i.e.
"running LAM selftests in guest" on both ept=Y/N.

CR4.LAM_SUP, as Chao pointed out, could not be covered by kselftest, I
may explore it in kvm-unit-test.
Or, would you mind that separate CR4.LAM_SUP enabling in another patch
set?
