Changes from v2

Patch #1: Fixed bad indent

I split the original #2 up into two patches:

Patch #2: Contains only VMX/VMCS cleanup
Patch #3: Contains a fix for VMCS the race condition previously discussed.

Patch #3 is optional given the recent discovery that the race should not cause
actual problems.

No, I agree (see "0/3" note).  I was just including it in case we wanted
to lock it down for posterity.  Since it adds what would amount to
unnecessary overhead, the comments provided in 2/3 are probably
sufficient.
