Defer reloading the MMU after a EPTP successful EPTP switch. The VMFUNC
instruction itself is executed in the previous EPTP context, any side
effects, e.g. updating RIP, should occur in the old context. Practically
speaking, this bug is benign as VMX doesn't touch the MMU when skipping
an emulated instruction, nor does queuing a single-step #DB. No other
post-switch side effects exist.

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.
