So in vcpu_enter_guest?

Another thing that's not obvious is the required ordering between KVM_SET_SREGS2
and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.  AFAICT it's not documented, but that may be PEBKAC on
my end.  E.g. what happens if walk_mmu == &root_mmu (L1 active in targte KVM)
when SET_SREGS2 is called, and_then_  KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE is called?

Either ordering should work.
