The "quirks" part is very confusing, largely because KVM has a well-established
quirks mechanism. I also don't see "quirks" anywhere in the TLFS documentation.
Can the "Nested quirks" part simply be dropped?

This bit is now defined[*], but the docs says it's only for perf_global_ctrl. Are
we expecting an update to the TLFS?

Indicates support for the GuestPerfGlobalCtrl and HostPerfGlobalCtrl fields
in the enlightened VMCS.
