Rewrite the comment above VMCS12_REVISION to unequivocally state that the
ID must never change. KVM_{G,S}ET_NESTED_STATE have been officially
supported for some time now, i.e. changing VMCS12_REVISION would break
userspace.
Opportunistically add a blurb to the CHECK_OFFSET() comment to make it
explicitly clear that new fields are allowed, i.e. that the restriction
on the layout is all about backwards compatibility.
No functional change intended.

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 reStructuredText 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.
