The changelog needs to provide an in-depth analysis of VMX and SVM to prove
that there are no existing dependencies in the ordering.  I've done the
analysis a few times over the past few years for a similar chage I carried
in my SGX code, but dropped that code a while back and haven't done the
analysis since.  Anyways, it should be documented.

Spurious whitespace.
