[Xen-devel] [PATCH v1 2/3] x86/vvmx: correct nested shadow VMCS handling

[Sergey Dyasli <sergey.dyasli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently xen always sets the shadow VMCS-indicator bit on nested
vmptrld and always clears it on nested vmclear.  This behavior is
wrong when the guest loads a shadow VMCS: shadow bit will be lost
on nested vmclear.

Fix this by checking if the guest has provided a shadow VMCS.
