Maybe enhance free_vpid (and also allocate_vpid) to work generically and
let the caller decide where to take the vpid from or where to store it?

It's a bit non-obvious that vpid == VMX_NR_VPIDS (no free vpids) will
lead to vpid == 0 when writing VIRTUAL_PROCESSOR_ID. You should leave at
least a comment. Or generalize allocate_vpid as that one is already
clearer in this regard.

Last but not least: the guest can now easily exhaust the host's pool of
vpid by simply spawning plenty of VCPUs for L2, no? Is this acceptable
or should there be some limit?
