That assumes that I remember what I meant :) but I do like it so yes, that was it. Especially the fact that init_vmcb now has a single caller. I would further consider moving save area initialization to *_vcpu_reset, and keeping the control fields in init_vmcb/vmcs. That would make it easier to relate the two functions to separate parts of the manuals.
I should go back to KVM next week. Context switching with KVM Forum and Kangrejos this week made everything so much slower than I'd liked.
