Why? Always enable it. It is faster than current approach.

This does not change. Store it in vcpu during vcpu creation instead of
reading it each time.

For 32bit you do not need to save ss:esp.

This should be done just before enabling interrupts, otherwise we are
taking an interrupt before vmexit is fully complete.
