Any reason for the if?
Sean Christopherson asked me to do this to avoid updating idt_vectoring_info on
failed
VM entry, to keep things as they were logically before this patch.
Ya, specifically because the field isn't valid if VM-Enter fails. I'm also ok
with an unconditional VMREAD if we add a comment stating that it's unnecessary
if VM-Enter failed, but faster in the common case.
It's okay, just good to know!
Thanks,
