I very strongly prefer the VMX version, i.e. rename kvm_x86_ops.prepare_guest_switch()
instead of renamed vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest(). prepare_guest_switch() can be
misinterpreted as switching to a different guest, and vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest()
explicitly pairs with vmx_prepare_switch_to_host().
