vm_type is u8 but vm->type is unsigned long

Hmm... This makes me wonder if vm->arch.s_bit below could be replaced
with the same architectural approach. GPAW is available through
TDG.VP.INFO or the initial RBX value. This does require a bit more
plumbing though.

Looks like this was discussed previously [1]. Maybe at least a comment
here would help?
