This is wrong.
Does the presence of preemption timer support imply that saving its value is also supported? Then we could demand this combination (ie. do not expose preemption timer support at all to L1 if value saving is missing) and build our preemption timer emulation on top. There is more broken /wrt VMX preemption timer, patches are welcome. Arthur will also try to develop test cases for it. But that topic is unrelated to this series.
