Requiring NMI_WINDOW_EXITING is wrong, KVM doesn't use NMI_WINDOW_EXITING if
enable_vnmi == false:

	if (!enable_vnmi ||
	    vmcs_read32(GUEST_INTERRUPTIBILITY_INFO) & GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI) {
		vmx_enable_irq_window(vcpu);
		return;
	}

	exec_controls_setbit(to_vmx(vcpu), CPU_BASED_NMI_WINDOW_EXITING);

And enable_vnmi is cleared if PIN_BASED_VIRTUAL_NMIS are unsupported:

	if (!cpu_has_virtual_nmis())
		enable_vnmi = 0;

I suspect CPUs that don't support VIRTUAL_NMIS also don't support NMI_WINDOW_EXITING,
and KVM explicitly supports such CPUs.  See commit 8a1b43922d0d ("kvm: vmx: Reinstate
support for CPUs without virtual NMI").

Making NMI_WINDOW_EXITING optional and then adding it to cpu_has_virtual_nmis()
seems like the correct approach.
