Is there a way, without installing vmware, to check from within Linux for the presence of "VMX Unrestricted Guest" support which is a requirement for VMware Workstation 14?

Unrestricted guest support is indicated by bit 5 of MSR 0x485, so it can be checked as follows:
sudo modprobe msr
sudo rdmsr --bitfield 5:5 0x485
If the output is 1, unrestricted guest is supported, if it’s 0, it’s not.
rdmsr is available in the msr-tools package in Debian or Fedora.
