Honestly I don't see how you had reached this conclusion.
I just think that code that always works on vmcb01
should use it, even if it happens that vmcb == vmcb01.
If you insist I can drop this patch or add WARN_ON instead,
I just think that this way is cleaner.

I do like the patch, but you should do the same in init_vmcb() and svm_hv_init_vmcb() as well.
