That diff on top of next-20230317 appears to resolve the issue for me
and my L1 guest can spawn an L2 guest without any issues (which is the
extent of my KVM testing).

Is this a problem for the SVM version? It has the same check it seems,
although I did not have any issues on my AMD test platform (but I guess
that means that the system has the support?).

I assume this will just be squashed into the original change but if not:
