It is legal to set CPUID multiple times, so I think we need

        if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PCOMMIT) && nested) {
                if (guest_cpuid_has_pcommit(vcpu))
                        vmx->nested.nested_vmx_secondary_ctls_high |=
                                SECONDARY_EXEC_PCOMMIT;
                else
                        vmx->nested.nested_vmx_secondary_ctls_high &=
                                ~SECONDARY_EXEC_PCOMMIT;
        }

The INVPCID exit probably should be handled the same way as PCOMMIT;
moving both to a new nested_vmx_update_ctls_msrs probably makes sense.

This can be done on top of this series.
