suspect.
I think you're right to be concerned.
Thirded, but it shouldn't be too hard.  Basically,
enable_unrestricted_guest must be moved into loaded_vmcs for this to
work.  It may be more work to write the test cases for L2 real mode <->
protected mode switch, which do not entirely fit into the vmx_tests.c
framework (but with the v2 tests it should not be hard to adapt).


OK, I will move enable_unrestricted_guest  to loaded_vmcs.

I also see that enable_ept controls the setting of enable_unrestricted_guest. Perhaps both need to be moved to loaded_vmcs ?

About testing, I am thinking the test will first vmlaunch L2 in real mode or in protected mode, then vmexit on vmcall and then vmresume in the other mode. Is that how the test should flow ?
