why not advertising VMX_BASIC_NESTED_EXCEPTION if the CPU supports it? just like
VMX_BASIC_INOUT right above.

Is it a requirement in the SDM that the VMM should enable all FRED controls or
none? If not, the VMM is allowed to enable only one or two of them. This means
KVM would need to emulate FRED controls for the L1 VMM as three separate
features.
