Since the execution controls are shadowed, they can be read quite efficiently. This means that there's no need for vcpu->kvm->arch.pml_enabled, and also that the copy can be done unconditionally in prepare_vmcs02 and nested_vmx_vmexit.
If the above is not true, we should at least combine change_vmcs01_virtual_apic_mode, reload_vmcs01_apic_access_page and the new field in a single bit field, for example vmx->nested.dirty_vmcs01_fields or vmx->nested.vmexit_requests.
In any case I expect Sean to take care of submitting this patch and I have to do nothing more about it, right?
