Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: VMX: Add knob to allow rejecting kvm_intel on
 inconsistent VMCS config

Add an off-by-default module param, reject_inconsistent_vmcs_config, to
allow rejecting the load of kvm_intel if an inconsistent VMCS config is
detected.  Continuing on with an inconsistent, degraded config is
undesirable when the CPU is expected to support a given set of features,
e.g. can result in a misconfigured VM if userspace doesn't cross-check
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID, and/or can result in poor performance due to
lack of fast MSR switching.
