Disable kernexec and uderef on host for both AMD and Intel.
You can enable kernexec and uderef on AMD guests.
You can enable kernexec but not uderef on Intel guests.

The intel processors tested were the core2duo, i3 and i7.

Thanks for that info, it should go into the documentation I'm writing on
hardened+virt.  I only tested the amd guests and assumed it was the same
for intel.
