[Qemu-devel] [PULL 2/2] i386/kvm: Do not sync nested state during runtime

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Writing the nested state e.g. after a vmport access can invalidate
important parts of the kernel-internal state, and it is not needed as
well. So leave this out from KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE.
