Given that you can't really know apriori which mode an HVM vcpu is in
and that having to pick the right half of the union everywhere is faff
for everyone on both sides of the API I'd suggest going with a single
struct as far as possible Perhaps with a union to allow the use of 32-
and 64-bit _names_ for things which are the same underlying register in
different widths (rip/pc, eax/rax etc), but that would be it.
