[Xen-devel] [PATCH 5/6] x86/vmx: Defer vmx_vmcs_exit() as long as possible in construct_vmcs()

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

paging_update_paging_modes() and vmx_vlapic_msr_changed() both operate on the
VMCS being constructed.  Avoid dropping and re-acquiring the reference
multiple times.
