As I pointed out in v1[*], pulling the PA->VA from the VMCS is a bad idea.  Just
use vmx->ve_info.

 : If KVM is dumping the VMCS, then something has gone wrong, possible in
 : hardware or ucode. Derefencing an address from the VMCS, which could very
 : well be corrupted, is a terrible idea.  This could easily escalate from a
 : dead VM into a dead host.
