The nested_ept_enabled flag introduced in commit 7ca29de2136 was not
computed correctly. We are interested only in L1's EPT state, not the
the combined L0+L1 value.

In particular, if L0 uses EPT but L1 does not, nested_ept_enabled must
be false to make sure that PDPSTRs are loaded based on CR3 as usual,
because the special case described in 26.3.2.4 Loading Page-Directory-
Pointer-Table Entries does not apply.

Adding a standardized "Fixes:" tag even if you mention the commit in
text allows simpler automated backports to stable kernels,

Fixes: 7ca29de21362 ("KVM: nVMX: fix CR3 load if L2 uses PAE paging and EPT")

I'd prefer to get rid of nested_ept_enabled and directly call
'nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12)' instead, like the other place in
prepare_vmcs02() that asks whether we have nested ept.

The change looks correct,

Thanks.

Oops, I completely missed that. I'll send a v2, thanks!
