I like this concept, and will be happy to change the nested VMX code to use
it as well.

One small thing: After the name change, it might not be obvious on first
sight that these functions refer to the state of the vcpu, not the state
of the actual CPU (which, if you think about it, is never in guest mode while
KVM code is running ;-)). I think that a short comment before the definition
of these functions might be useful - perhaps saying that they pertain to a
hypervisor running in the vcpu (i.e., nested virtualization).

Nadav.
