KVM: nested VMX: disable perf cpuid reporting

Initilization of L2 guest with -cpu host, on L1 guest with -cpu host triggers: (qemu) KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x7 ... nested_vmx_run: VMCS MSR_{LOAD,STORE} unsupported Nested VMX MSR load/store support is not sufficient to allow perf for L2 guest. Until properly fixed, trap CPUID and disable function 0xA. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]>
