Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] KVM: X86: Grab KVM's srcu lock when accessing hv
 assist page

The subject shoud be rewritten to simply states that the vmcs12->shadow
sync is being.  The changelog can explain the motiviation, but a one-line
git log should clearly reveal that this affects the shadow VMCS.

Subsystem should also be "KVM: nVMX:"

This needs to be above the short circuit check on guest_state_loaded, e.g.:

	if (vmx->nested.need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync)
		nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow(vcpu);

	if (vmx->guest_state_loaded)
		return;
