Subject: [PATCH 4.9 143/165] KVM: nVMX: Dont emulate instructions in guest mode

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 07721feee46b4b248402133228235318199b05ec ]

vmx_check_intercept is not yet fully implemented. To avoid emulating
instructions disallowed by the L1 hypervisor, refuse to emulate
instructions by default.
