Stuff CR0 and/or CR4 to be compliant with a restricted guest if and only
if KVM itself is not configured to utilize unrestricted guests, i.e. don't
stuff CR0/CR4 for a restricted L2 that is running as the guest of an
unrestricted L1. Any attempt to VM-Enter a restricted guest with invalid
CR0/CR4 values should fail, i.e. in a nested scenario, KVM (as L0) should
never observe a restricted L2 with incompatible CR0/CR4, since nested
VM-Enter from L1 should have failed.
And if KVM does observe an active, restricted L2 with incompatible state,
e.g. due to a KVM bug, fudging CR0/CR4 instead of letting VM-Enter fail
does more harm than good, as KVM will often neglect to undo the side
effects, e.g. won't clear rmode.vm86_active on nested VM-Exit, and thus
the damage can easily spill over to L1. On the other hand, letting
VM-Enter fail due to bad guest state is more likely to contain the damage
to L2 as KVM relies on hardware to perform most guest state consistency
checks, i.e. KVM needs to be able to reflect a failed nested VM-Enter into
L1 irrespective of (un)restricted guest behavior.
