This is the

if (!nested_cpu_has_eptp_switching(vmcs12) ||
!nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12))
return 1;

check then, I assume. Makes sense.

Sure, if you have to respin, you can fix this up.

Sounds good. Also thought that encapsulating this might be a good option.

It looks at least cleaner to set everything up after the unload has
happened (and could avoid future bugs, if that unload would every rely
on that setting!). + we can reuse that function more easily (e.g. vm entry).

But that's just my personal opinion. Feel free to ignore.

Wonder what happens on real hardware.
