Well, it would make sense for Intel too virtualize SVM because it
doesn't has the performance issues with lots and lots of emulated
vmread/vmwrite instructions that cause vmexits in the nested case. The
bigger problem with SVM on VMX is that it could never be complete
because afaik VMX has fewer intercepts than SVM.
