+8.38 KVM_CAP_VM_DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES
+---------------------------
+
+:Capability KVM_CAP_VM_DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES
+:Architectures: x86
+:Type: vm
+:Parameters: arg[0] must be 0.
+:Returns 0 on success, -EPERM if the userspace process does not
+ have CAP_SYS_BOOT, -EINVAL if args[0] is not 0 or any vCPUs have been
+ created.
+
+This capability disables the NX huge pages mitigation for iTLB MULTIHIT.
+
+The capability has no effect if the nx_huge_pages module parameter is not set.
+
+This capability may only be set before any vCPUs are created.
