Let KVM load if EFER.NX=0 even if NX is supported, the analysis and
testing (or lack thereof) for the non-PAE host case was garbage.
If the kernel won't be using PAE paging, .Ldefault_entry in head_32.S
skips over the entire EFER sequence. Hopefully that can be changed in
the future to allow KVM to require EFER.NX, but the motivation behind
KVM's requirement isn't yet merged. Reverting and revisiting the mess
at a later date is by far the safest approach.
This reverts commit 8bbed95d2cb6e5de8a342d761a89b0a04faed7be.
Fixes: 8bbed95d2cb6 ("KVM: x86: WARN and reject loading KVM if NX is supported but not enabled")

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.
