VNMI feature allows the hypervisor to inject NMI into the guest w/o
using Event injection mechanism, The benefit of using VNMI over the
event Injection that does not require tracking the Guest's NMI state and
intercepting the IRET for the NMI completion. VNMI achieves that by
exposing 3 capability bits in VMCB intr_cntrl which helps with
virtualizing NMI injection and NMI_Masking.

The presence of this feature is indicated via the CPUID function
0x8000000A_EDX[25].
