Exposing only the function allows @nested, i.e. the module param, to be
statically defined in vmx.c, ensuring we aren't unnecessarily checking
said variable in the nested code. nested_vmx_allowed() is exposed due
to the need to verify nested support in vmx_{get,set}_nested_state().
The downside is that nested_vmx_allowed() likely won't be inlined in
vmx_{get,set}_nested_state(), but that should be a non-issue as they're
not a hot path. Keeping vmx_{get,set}_nested_state() in vmx.c isn't a
viable option as they need access to several nested-only functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
