May I ask for an example here, to explain why we use the KVM config
here, instead of the guest's? I mean, the guest's config can be
adjusted after cpuid updates by vmx_vcpu_after_set_cpuid(). Yet the
msr settings in vmcs_config.nested might be outdated by then.

Another question is about the setting of secondary_ctls_high in
nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs(). I saw there's a comment saying:
"Do not include those that depend on CPUID bits, they are
added later by vmx_vcpu_after_set_cpuid.".

But since cpuid updates can adjust the vmx->nested.msrs.secondary_ctls_high,
do we really need to clear those flags for secondary_ctls_high in this
global config? Could we just set
msrs->secondary_ctls_high = vmcs_conf->cpu_based_2nd_exec_ctrl?

If yes, code(in nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs()) such as
if (enable_ept) {
/* nested EPT: emulate EPT also to L1 */
msrs->secondary_ctls_high |=
SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_EPT;
or
if (cpu_has_vmx_vmfunc()) {
msrs->secondary_ctls_high |=
SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VMFUNC;
and other similar ones may also be uncessary.
