Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

KVM: VMX: Use higher-level allocator

This commit switches the allocation function used in alloc_vmcs_cpu()
from __alloc_pages_node() to alloc_pages_node().

> KVM: VMX: Use higher-level allocator

[Severity: Medium]
Is this description inverted?

Looking at include/linux/gfp.h, it appears __alloc_pages_node() explicitly
forbids NUMA_NO_NODE (-1) via VM_BUG_ON(nid < 0).

Instead, it is alloc_pages_node() that handles NUMA_NO_NODE by explicitly
checking for it and falling back to numa_mem_id().

While the code change itself is safe, the justification reverses the
behavior of the two APIs. Could the commit message be updated to
accurately reflect the API semantics?
