After CR0 is changed during VMExit, the result of kvm_read_cr3() may be

cr3 from hardware on demand" caused 32bit Windows guest blue screen when using
with EPT. This patch fixes it by decache CR3 before CR0 change, for both
paging to nonpaging, and nonpaging to paging switch.

But I haven't found the exactly point affected by this, any clue?


Can't see it either.

Without this line, it fails?

I think it's better to call vmx_decache_cr3() explicitly, since it explains what we're doing. vmx_decache_cr3 depends on arch.cr0, and we're changing that here.

This is indeed bogus. But what ensures that we'll have the correct GUEST_CR3 after enabling paging?
