Right, I totally forgot about this one.
One thing why I made this patch optional, is that I can instead drop it,
and not 'read back' the saved area on vmexit, this will probably be faster
that what this optimization does. What do you think? Is this patch worth it?
(I submitted it because I already implemented this and wanted to hear opinion
on this).
