RE: [PATCH v10 01/12] xen/vmx: let opt_ept_ad always reflect the current setting

["Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@intel.com>]

> In case opt_ept_ad has not been set explicitly by the user via command
> line or runtime parameter, it is treated as "no" on Avoton cpus.
> 
> Change that handling by setting opt_ept_ad to 0 for this cpu type
> explicitly if no user value has been set.
> 
> By putting this into the (renamed) boot time initialization of vmcs.c
> _vmx_cpu_up() can be made static.
