When emulating exit from long mode, EFER_LMA is cleared with vmx_set_efer(). This will already unset the VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE control bit as requested by SDM, so there is no need to unset VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE again in exit_lmode() explicitly. In case EFER isn't supported by hardware, long mode isn't supported, so exit_lmode() cannot be reached. Note that, thanks to the shadow controls mechanism, this change doesn't eliminate vmread or vmwrite.

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.
