Perform one last VMX transition to actually load the host's RIP and CR4

which causes spectacularly confusing explosions when other misguided
tests assume setting bit 63 in CR3 will cause a non-canonical #GP.

Just for my understanding. When you say, "other misguided tests", which
tests are you referring to ? In the current sequence of tests in
vmx_host_state_area_test(), test_load_host_perf_global_ctrl() is the one
that follows and it runs fine.
See test_mtf_guest() in patch 2/2. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11661189/
I ran the two tests as follows but couldn't reproduce it:
./x86/run x86/vmx.flat -smp 1 -cpu host,+vmx -append
"vmx_host_state_area_test vmx_mtf_test"
How did you run the them ?
