from_vmrun would be a better name. VMX uses the slightly absstract from_vmentry
because of the VMLAUNCH vs. VMRESUME silliness. If we want to explicitly follow
VMX then from_vmentry would be more appropriate, but I don't see any reason not
to be more precise.

Hmm, I think this belongs in the previous patch. And I would probably go so far
as to say it belongs in emulator_leave_smm(), i.e. pdptrs_from_userspace should
be cleared on RSM regardless of what mode is being resumed.

Alignment is funky, it can/should match the definition, e.g.

int enter_svm_guest_mode(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 vmcb12_gpa,
struct vmcb *vmcb12, bool from_entry);
