Yes, in fact I suggested that ASID should be in svm->asid and moved to
svm->vmcb->asid in svm_vcpu_run. Then there's no need to special case
it in nested code.

This should be a patch coming before this one.

You can print g_pat and see if it is all zeroes.

In general I think it's better to be explicit with vmcb01 vs. vmcb02,
like Cathy did, but I can see it's a matter of personal preference to
some extent.
