Explicitly zero the guest's CR3 and mark it available+dirty at RESET/INIT. Per Intel's SDM and AMD's APM, CR3 is zeroed at both RESET and INIT. For RESET, this is a nop as vcpu is zero-allocated. For INIT, the bug has likely escaped notice because no firmware/kernel puts its page tables root at PA=0, let alone relies on INIT to get the desired CR3 for such page tables.

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.
