Interesting:

1/ With VMCS Shadowing *disabled* :

- On L0  (Side note: I did reboot the host, once I disabled shadow VMCS)
====
    $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_shadow_vmcs
    N
====

- Building Kernel on L2:
====
$ time make
.....
real    36m33.361s
user    18m19.003s
sys     17m6.208s
====


2/ With VMCS Shadowing *enabled* :

- On L0  (Side note: I did reboot the host, once I enabled shadow VMCS)
====
    $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_shadow_vmcs
    Y
====

- Building Kernel on L2:
====
$ time make
.....
real    62m53.853s
user    32m32.724s
sys     32m16.430s
