The "vmx" flag is the Intel virtualization flag. Middle of the third
line above (I marked it).

Again, the flag is "vmx" for Intel, "svm" for AMD.

You should have the fully virtualized ability since you have the vmx
flag.
But when I want to check hypervisor capability set in this server:
# cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities :
nothing to me, so should I discare it? or the server couldn't support
full virtualization
capaility, even CPU is right one, is it?
