The bool type is 8-bits, but some assembly code in vmx_vcpu_run compares the __launched member as 32-bits. While the current layout of the structure leaves 24-bits of padding after __launched, adding members with small types after __launched or rearranging members could result in a "KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x5" error.
