[ upstream commit c7dfa4009965a9b2d7b329ee970eb8da0d32f0bc ]
If L1 disables VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts, and doesn't enable Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE (currently not supported for the nested hypervisor), then VMLOAD/VMSAVE must operate on the L1 physical memory, which is only possible by making L0 intercept these instructions.
Failure to do so allowed the nested guest to run VMLOAD/VMSAVE unintercepted, and thus read/write portions of the host physical memory.
Fixes: 89c8a4984fc9 ("KVM: SVM: Enable Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE feature")

The above upstream SHA1 is still on its way to Linus
Ah, missed this down here, I read top-to-bottom and stopped at the second line :)
Anyway, will wait for Linus to pick these up first.
thanks,
