[PATCH] KVM: nVMX: do not pin the VMCS12
From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Thu Jul 27 2017 - 09:54:55 EST
Since the current implementation of VMCS12 does a memcpy in and out
of guest memory, we do not need current_vmcs12 and current_vmcs12_page
anymore. current_vmptr is enough to read and write the VMCS12.
