[PATCH v4 7/9] KVM: VMX: Make handle_bus_lock_vmexit() a shared helper

From: Xiaoyao Li

Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 06:04:20 EST


Move handle_bus_lock_vmexit() from vmx.c to main.c to make it a shared
helper so that TDX can use it for Bus Lock VM exit handling as well.
Rename it to add vt_ prefix to reflect that it is a helper for both VMX
and TDX.
