Ah, sorry, you are not seeing what I'm looking at: The test will change
for L2 context once unrestricted guest mode is added. At that point, it
makes more sense to split it into one version that checks against
VMXON_CR0_ALWAYSON while in vmxon, targeting L1, and another that does
more complex evaluation for L2, depending on nested_cpu_has2(vmcs12,
SECONDARY_EXEC_UNRESTRICTED_GUEST).
