Do VPID allocation after calling the common kvm_vcpu_init() as a step
towards doing vCPU allocation (via kmem_cache_zalloc()) and calling
kvm_vcpu_init() back-to-back. Squishing allocation and initialization
together will eventually allow the sequence to be moved to arch-agnostic
creation code.
Note, the VPID is not consumed until KVM_RUN, slightly delaying its
allocation should have no real function impact. VPID allocation was
arbitrarily placed in the original patch, commit 2384d2b326408 ("KVM:
VMX: Enable Virtual Processor Identification (VPID)").

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.
