But this is precisely what the (unpatched) vmx_set_cr0 code does:
If you look at it, it takes a parameter "cr0" and builds an additional
variable "hw_cr0".
"cr0" gets written into CR0_READ_SHADOW, while "hw_cr0" gets written into
GUEST_CR0.
vcpu->arch.cr0 gets a copy of "cr0", not of "hw_cr0", i.e., it is a cache of
CR0_READ_SHADOW, not of GUEST_CR0.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Nadav.
