How to enable AVX/AVX2 flag in Vagrant guest OS for SIMD support?

I am facing an issue where my Windows machine supports AVX/AVX2 SIMD instructions, but the Vagrant guest OS (Ubuntu) does not. This is causing a core dump (SIGILL) when running RisingWave via Docker. How can I configure Vagrant to enable the AVX/AVX2 flag in the guest OS, similar to my host computer (Windows 11)?

To enable AVX/AVX2 flag in the Vagrant guest OS for SIMD support, you need to adjust the virtualization settings.
Disable the 'Virtualization Based Security Feature' in Windows 11 to allow the guest OS to see AVX/AVX2 instructions.
Once the feature is turned off, the guest OS should be able to run the Docker image without issues.
Verify that the AVX/AVX2 flag is now enabled in the Vagrant guest OS by running the necessary commands or applications that require SIMD support.
