Checks that KVM's page table management code will not incorrectly
let guests receive a virtualization exception. Virtualization
exceptions will be trapped by the hypervisor rather than injected
in the guest.
+ Note: some CPUs appear to generate spurious EPT Violations #VEs
+ that trigger KVM's WARN, in particular with eptad=0 and/or nested
+ virtualization.

If unsure, say N.
