As Vitaly pointed out, the test must be split in two, like this:

Subject: [PATCH] kvm: nVMX: VMWRITE checks VMCS-link pointer before VMCS field

According to the SDM, a VMWRITE in VMX non-root operation with an
invalid VMCS-link pointer results in VMfailInvalid before the validity
of the VMCS field in the secondary source operand is checked.

While cleaning up handle_vmwrite, make the code of handle_vmread look
the same, too.

... and also, do you have a matching kvm-unit-tests patch?
