If the guest is running in nested mode on system reset, clearing the feature MSR signals the kernel to leave this mode. Recent kernels processes this properly, but leave the VCPU state undefined behind. It is the job of userspace to bring it to a proper shape. Therefore, write this specific MSR first so that no state transfer gets lost. This allows to cleanly reset a guest with VMX in use.
