To be honest we can't assume anything about L1, but what we can assume

is that if vmcs12 field is not shadowed, then L1 vmwrite/vmread will
be always intercepted and during the interception the fields can be synced,
however I studied this area long ago and I might be mistaken.

I don't think that nested.nested_run_pending check is needed.
prepare_vmcs02_rare is not going to be called unless the nested run is pending.

The above code should be conditional on VM_ENTRY_LOAD_CET_STATE - if the guest (L2) state
was loaded, then it must be updated on exit - this is usually how VMX works.

Also I don't see any mention of usage of VM_EXIT_LOAD_CET_STATE, which if set,
should reset the L1 CET state to values in 'host_s_cet/host_ssp/host_ssp_tbl'
(This is also a common theme in VMX - host state is reset to values that the hypervisor
sets in VMCS, and the hypervisor must care to update these fields itself).

As a rule of thumb, if you add a field to vmcs12, you should use it somewhere,
and you should never use it unconditionally, as almost always its use
depends on entry or exit controls.

Same is true for entry/exit/execution controls - if you add one, you almost
always have to use it somewhere.
