Yes, that's true!

Hmm, I think that means you have to put the clean fields in the
vmx_nested struct.  Then it's really easy in vmx_set_nested_state to
clear all the clean bits.  Touching memory in vmx_set_nested_state is...
*puts on sunglasses* a touchy subject (see comment in kvm/queue's
enter_vmx_non_root_mode).

Thanks,
