  Virtualize CR4.LASS[bit 27] under KVM control instead of being guest-owned
as CR4.LASS generally set once for each vCPU at boot time and won't be
toggled at runtime. Besides, only if VM has LASS capability enumerated with
CPUID.(EAX=07H.ECX=1):EAX.LASS[bit 6], KVM allows guest software to be able
to set CR4.LASS. By design CR4.LASS can be manipulated by nested guest as
well.

Notes: Setting CR4.LASS to 1 enable LASS in IA-32e mode. It doesn't take
effect in legacy mode even if CR4.LASS is set.

Or just simply use "intercept"?

This is inaccurate. The change in nested_vmx_cr_fixed1_bits_update() is
to allow L1 guests to set CR4.LASS in VMX operation. I would say:

Set the CR4.LASS bit in the emulated IA32_VMX_CR4_FIXED1 MSR for guests
to allow guests to enable LASS in nested VMX operation.

OK. Will change it.

Essentially it allows nested guest to set CR4.LASS. L1 guest uses 
cr4_fixed1 to check
cr4 value requested to set by nested guest valid or not. Nested guest 
will get #GP
fault if it's not allowed.

The change to CR4_FIXED1 has more impacts. Without CR4_FIXED1 change,
guest shouldn't enable LASS in VMX operation; it means:

1. before VMXON, LASS should be disabled
2. in VMX operation, LASS cannot be enabled

What you said (i.e., L1 guest allows L2 to enable LASS) belongs in #2.
But #1 isn't covered. That's why I said "inaccurate".
