This can be __ro_after_init, e.g. see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221110013003.1421895-4-seanjc@google.com

> +module_param(vnmi, bool, 0444);

The exposure of "vnmi" to userspace belongs in the last patch.  E.g. this patch
should only stub in vnmi:

  bool __ro_after_init vnmi;

and then the last patch that actually enables it can default it to true and expose
the param to users.

It obviously doesn't matter in the end, but it technically makes this series
broken, e.g. nested_sync_int_ctl_from_vmcb02() pivots on "vnmi" without the extra
V_NMI_ENABLE check, and advertising the vnmi is enabled when it actually isn't is
wrong/misleading.
