An "else" is needed here to do the opposite setup (removing the "if (vls)" from init_vmcb).

This also makes the code more readable since you can write

	if (guest_cpuid_is_intel(vcpu)) {
		/*
		 * We must intercept SYSENTER_EIP and SYSENTER_ESP
		 * accesses because the processor only stores 32 bits.
		 * For the same reason we cannot use virtual
		 * VMLOAD/VMSAVE.
		 */
		...
	} else {
		/* Do the opposite.  */
		...
	}
