The pointer to svm_cpu_data in struct vcpu_svm looks interesting from the point of view of accessing it after vmexit, when the GSBASE is still containing the guest value. However, despite existing since the very first commit of drivers/kvm/svm.c (commit 6aa8b732ca01, "[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface", 2006-12-10), it was never set to anything. Ignore the opportunity to fix a 16 year old "bug" and delete it; doing things the "harder" way makes it possible to remove more old cruft.

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.
