I cannot get EPT support to work on commit:
21f65ab2c582594a69dcb1484afa9f88b3414b4f
KVM: VMX: Zero ept module parameter if ept is not present

I see tons of pf_guest from kvm_stat, where as the previous commit has none.
I am using "ept=1" module option for kvm-intel.

This is on Nehalem processors.
