Interesting:
1/ With VMCS Shadowing *disabled* :

$ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_shadow_vmcs

- Building Kernel on L2:
====
$ time make
.....
real 36m33.361s
user 18m19.003s
sys 17m6.208s
====
2/ With VMCS Shadowing *enabled* :
- On L0 (Side note: I did reboot the host, once I enabled shadow VMCS)
