Unmapping the nested VMCB in enter_svm_guest_mode is a bit of a wart,
since the map is not used elsewhere in the function. There are
just two calls, so move it there.
The last sentence sounds bit incomplete.
Good point---more precisely, "calls" should be "callers". "It" refers
to "unmapping".

Also, does it make sense to mention the reason why unmapping is not
required before we enter guest mode ?
Unmapping is a host operation and is not visible by the guest; is this
what you mean?


Yes, I was thinking if we could mention it in the commit message...
