Right... One of these days, I (or some other volunteer ;-)) would need to
print out the relevant sections of the SDM, sit down with a marker, a read
it line by line marking lines, fields, capabilities, and so on, which we
forgot to implement... 

How about these additions:

	vmcs_write32(GUEST_SYSENTER_CS, vmcs12->host_ia32_sysenter_cs);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_SYSENTER_ESP, vmcs12->host_ia32_sysenter_esp);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_SYSENTER_EIP, vmcs12->host_ia32_sysenter_eip);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_IDTR_BASE, vmcs12->host_idtr_base);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_GDTR_BASE, vmcs12->host_gdtr_base);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_TR_BASE, vmcs12->host_tr_base);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_GS_BASE, vmcs12->host_gs_base);
	vmcs_writel(GUEST_FS_BASE, vmcs12->host_fs_base);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_ES_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_es_selector);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_CS_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_cs_selector);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_SS_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_ss_selector);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_DS_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_ds_selector);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_FS_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_fs_selector);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_GS_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_gs_selector);
	vmcs_write16(GUEST_TR_SELECTOR, vmcs12->host_tr_selector);

	if (vmcs12->vm_exit_controls & VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_PAT)
		vmcs_write64(GUEST_IA32_PAT, vmcs12->host_ia32_pat);
	if (vmcs12->vm_exit_controls & VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL)
		vmcs_write64(GUEST_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL,
			vmcs12->host_ia32_perf_global_ctrl);
