The changelog should call out that simply stuffing vmcs12 will cause
incorrect behavior because the second (and later) VM-Enter after migration
will restart the timer with the wrong value.  It took me a bit to piece
together why the extra field was needed.

timer_value would be shorter, and IMO, a better name as well.  I'd even go
so far as to say throw on a follow-up patch to rename the variable in
vmx_start_preemption_timer.

vmcs12 is already available.

Isn't this suitable for put_user()?  That would allow dropping the
long-winded BUILD_BUG_ON.
