Subject: [kvm-unit-tests 0/4] Misc fixups/cleanups for nested tests

A group of misc cleanups and fixups for SVM and VMX tests.

Disclaimer for patch 3: I have no idea why #UD was used to convey
failure from the guest when report() is usable, so I might have missed
something there.

Disclaimer for patch 4: I did not look too closely into why the flake is
happening. It seemed like there was an adhoc approach to stabilize the
test (shift duration by 24 bits), so I just made the necessary
adjustment to make the test stable on Turin.

This series is based on a different SVM series to avoid conflicts:

Yosry Ahmed (4):
  x86/vmx: Skip vmx_pf_exception_test_fep early if FEP is not available
  x86/svm: Print SVM test names before running tests
  x86/svm: Replace #UD on failure in LBRV tests with proper report()s
  x86/svm: Deflake svm_tsc_scale_test
