I'm happy to do that, and think that it would be useful, but it won't
help with the original problem (which I should have explained more).

If the guest has EFER_LMA set but we aren't using the entry/exit
controls, vm_read64(GUEST_IA32_EFER) returns 0, causing dump_vmcs() to
erroneously dump the PDPTRs.
