For consistency, should the vmcb_gpa argument be renamed to vmcb12_gpa as well?

Perhaps in a follow-up change, this could be set to an illegal value
rather than 0?

It's unfortunate that we have "_pa" on the LHS on "_gpa" on the RHS. Oh, well.

Here, too, perhaps this could be changed from 0 to an illegal value in
a follow-up change.
