Both of these warnings should simply be dropped.  The error_on_inconsistent_vmcs_config
stuff is for inconsistencies within the allowed VMCS fields.  Having a feature
that is supported in bare metal but not virtualized is perfectly legal, if
uncommon.

What *is* needed is for KVM to refuse to virtualize FRED if the entry/exit controls
aren't consistent.  E.g. if at least one control is present, and at least one
control is missing.   I.e. KVM needs a version of vmcs_entry_exit_pairs that can
deal with SECONDAY_VM_EXIT controls.  I'll circle back to this when I give the
series a proper review, which is going to be 3+ weeks.
