Gah, this (not your) code is silly. I had to go look at the full source to see
that secondary_exec_control isn't accessed uninitialized...

Can you opportunistically tweak it to the below, and use the same patter for the
tertiary controls?

if (cpu_has_secondary_exec_ctrls())
secondary_exec_control = vmcs_read32(SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL);
else
secondary_exec_control = 0;

Can you provide a sample dump? It's hard to visualize the output, e.g. I'm worried
this will be overly log and harder to read than putting tertiary controls on their
own line.
