According to section "Checks on VMX Controls" in Intel SDM vol 3C, the
following check is performed on vmentry of L2 guests:

    On processors that support Intel 64 architecture, the IA32_SYSENTER_ESP
    field and the IA32_SYSENTER_EIP field must each contain a canonical
    address.

Based on the SDM text quoted in the commit message, these checks
should be contingent on guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_LM). One
could perhaps argue that these "natural width" fields should only be
32 bits wide when guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_LM) is false, but
since kvm just typedefs natural_width to be u64, I'm not sure that
this is true.

This code is fine, but it makes me wonder if the nVMX implications of
!X86_FEATURE_LM are completely botched.

Probably, but does it even it matter?  I doubt anyone has hardware to
compare against :-)  AFAIK, Yonah[1] was the only production CPU to
support VMX but not 64-bit, and I'm guessing there aren't many of them
left in the wild.

Could we do something like state that KVM always emulates a 64-bit CPU
for VMX instructions?  It'd save a lot of (IMO) pointless checks.

It might be reasonable to enforce the rule that the guest
CPUID.80000001H:EDX.LM[bit 29] must match the host
CPUID.80000001H:EDX.LM[bit 29]. No doubt, someone would complain,
though.
