Drop an explicit MMU reset when entering emulated real mode now that the
vCPU INIT/RESET path correctly handles conditional MMU resets, e.g. if
INIT arrives while the vCPU is in 64-bit mode.
Note, while there are multiple other direct calls to vmx_set_cr0(), i.e.
paths that change CR0 without invoking kvm_post_set_cr0(), only the INIT
emulation can reach enter_rmode(). CLTS emulation only toggles CR.TS,
VM-Exit (and late VM-Fail) emulation cannot architecturally transition to
Real Mode, and VM-Enter to Real Mode is possible if and only if
Unrestricted Guest is enabled (exposed to L1).
This effectively reverts commit 8668a3c468 ("KVM: VMX: Reset mmu
context when entering real mode")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
