I already reworked that part to use HVM_PARAM_*. It showed up one
caveat: The nestedhvm_enabled() becomes true after p2m_init()
run. So the hap-on-hap code wasn't initialized.
I worked around that by initialising nestedp2m's in p2m_init()
unconditionally of having nestedhvm=1 in the guest config file
or not.
