Speaking of too large, would it be overly paranoid to add:

  BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct vmcb_control_area) + sizeof(struct vmcb_save_area) <
	       KVM_STATE_NESTED_SVM_VMCB_SIZE)

More so for documentation than for any real concern that the SVM architecture
will do something silly, e.g. to make it obvious that patch 2 in this series
won't break backwards compatibility.

The sizeof() calc is wrong, this is now calculating the size of the pointer,
not the size of the struct.  It'd need to be sizeof(*ctl).

Same bug here.
