I was going to ask "and we don't seem to check that current nested VMPTR
is valid, how can we know that nested_vmx_failValid() is the right
VMfail() to use" but then I checked our nested_vmx_failValid() and there
is a fallback there:

	if (vmx->nested.current_vmptr == -1ull && !vmx->nested.hv_evmcs)
		return nested_vmx_failInvalid(vcpu);

so this is a non-issue. My question, however, transforms into "would it
make sense to introduce nested_vmx_fail() implementing the logic from
SDM:

VMfail(ErrorNumber):
	IF VMCS pointer is valid
		THEN VMfailValid(ErrorNumber);
	ELSE VMfailInvalid;
	FI;

to assist an innocent reader of the code?"
