Why go through this explicit mapping/release dance? Why not just:

uint32_t revision;
...
if (kvm_read_guest(vcpu->kvm, vmptr, &revision, sizeof(revision)) ||
      revision != VMCS12_REVISION) {
          nested_vmx_failInvalid(vcpu);
          return kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(vcpu);
}


Fair enough, I will update.
