as Rik dropped kvm_load_guest_fpu(vcpu) in vcpu_enter_guest() ..
in case still in kvm mode, how to make sure to pkru is always the
right one before enter guest mode, not be preempted before
preempt_disable() after migration? :(
As you know:
1) kvm_load_guest_fpu doesn't load the guest PKRU, it keeps the
userspace PKRU.
2) the guest PKRU is only ever set in a preemption-disabled area
Thus, context switch always sees the userspace PKRU. The guest PKRU is
only set the next time vmx_vcpu_run executes.
