VMX provides a capability that allows EPT violations to be reflected
into the guest as Virtualization Exceptions (#VE).  The primary use case
of EPT violation #VEs is to improve the performance of virtualization-
based security solutions, e.g. eliminate a VM-Exit -> VM-Exit roundtrip
when utilizing EPT to protect priveleged data structures or code.

The "Suppress #VE" bit allows a VMM to opt-out of EPT violation #VEs on
a per page basis, e.g. when a page is marked not-present due to lazy
installation or is write-protected for dirty page logging.

The "Suppress #VE" bit is ignored:

  - By hardware that does not support EPT violation #VEs
  - When the EPT violation #VE VMCS control is disabled
  - On non-leaf EPT entries
