Expose the feature to L1 hypervisor if host CPU supports it, since
certain hypervisors requires it for own purposes.

According to Intel SDM A.1, if CPU supports the feature,
VMX_INSTRUCTION_INFO field of VMCS will contain detailed information
about INS/OUTS instructions handling. This field is already copied to
VMCS12 for L1 hypervisor (see prepare_vmcs12 routine) independently
feature presence.

inline is useless. See Documentation/CodingStyle, Chapter 15

You can shift VMX_BASIC_INOUT (at compile time) and avoid the shifting of 
vmcs_config.basic_cap at runtime.

No, it's not.  See Documentation/CodingStyle, Chapter 15: "While the use
of inlines can be appropriate (for example as a means of replacing
macros, see Chapter 12), it very often is not".

Not really since VMX_BASIC_INOUT comes from the processor manual.

It's ironic that your first remark places a lot of trust in the
compiler, while the second places none.  The compiler is happy to
optimize away the left-shift/bitwise-AND pair to this:

	movq	%rdi, %rax
	shrq	$22, %rax
	andl	$1, %eax

where 22 is the order of VMX_BASIC_INOUT's only set bit, minus 32.

Bits 32-44 are already stored in vmcs_conf->size, so please make this
"vmx_msr_high & ~0x1fff".

Otherwise looks fine!
