I can select whether to enable or disable VMX in my AMI BIOS. If enabled it sets
BX_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL_VMX_ENABLE_BIT and BX_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL_LOCK_BIT
else it's only BX_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL_LOCK_BIT.
Although i still consider it valid it doesn't have a "don't touch" option.

Shall i update my patch?
