Yeah, you have a good point there.  We really do need some core code to
manage VMXON/OFF now that there is increased interest outside of
_purely_ running VMs.

For the purposes of _this_ patch, I think I'm happy to leave open the
possibility that SEAMCALL can simply fail due to VMXOFF.  For now, it
means that we can't attribute #MC's to the PAMT unless a VM is running
but that seems like a reasonable compromise for the moment.

Once TDX gains the ability to "pin" VMXON, the added precision here will
be appreciated.
