I already commented on this approach.  This is now invoked on each open,
lots of extra VM exits. No bueno, people are working hard to keep setup
overhead under control. Handle this in the config change interrupt -
your new infrastructure is perfect for this.

it's clear what this does even without a comment.
what you should comment on, and do not, is *why*.

same

also what "status updating"? confuses more than this clarifies.
