KVM: SVM: add module parameter to disable Nested Paging
To disable the use of the Nested Paging feature even if it is available in hardware this patch adds a module parameter. Nested Paging can be disabled by passing npt=0 to the kvm_amd module. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
