Using 'struct loaded_vmcs*' to track whether the CPU registers
contain host or guest state kills two birds with one stone.
1. The (effective) boolean host_state.loaded is poorly named.
It does not track whether or not host state is loaded into
the CPU registers (which most readers would expect), but
rather tracks if host state has been saved AND guest state
is loaded.
2. Using a loaded_vmcs pointer provides a more robust framework
for the optimized guest/host state switching, especially when
consideration per-VMCS enhancements. To that end, WARN_ONCE
if we try to switch to host state with a different VMCS than
was last used to save host state.
Resolve an occurrence of the new WARN by setting loaded_vmcs after
the call to vmx_vcpu_put() in vmx_switch_vmcs().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
