+This ioctl copies the vcpu's nested virtualization state from the kernel to
+userspace.
+
+The maximum size of the state, including the fixed-size part of struct
+kvm_nested_state, can be retrieved by passing KVM_CAP_NESTED_STATE to
+the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl().

+4.115 KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_NESTED_STATE
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_nested_state (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+This copies the vcpu's kvm_nested_state struct from userspace to the kernel. For
+the definition of struct kvm_nested_state, see KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
