This is quite dangerous, because it expects that the offset is the same 
between vmcb_control_area and vmcb_ctrl_area_cached.  You can just 
duplicate the implementation (which is essentially just a test_bit), and 
call the function

static inline bool vmcb12_is_intercept(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u32 bit)

Likewise, nested_vmcb_check_controls can just take the vcpu since you 
moved nested_load_control_from_vmcb12 earlier.

Finally, copy_vmcb_control_area can be inlined, and its caller 
nested_load_control_from_vmcb12 can stop copying the ASID.  There is 
only one call to it since commit 4995a3685f1b ("KVM: SVM: Use a separate 
vmcb for the nested L2 guest", 2021-03-15).

Thanks,
