Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: VMX: cleanup VMXON region allocation

Minor cleanup with no functional change (intended):
- Rename 'kvm_area' to 'vmxon_region'
- Simplify setting revision_id for VMXON region when eVMCS is in use

Changes since v1:
- Patches prefix ('KVM: VMX:' now) [Sean Christopherson]
- Add Sean's R-b to PATCH1
- Do not rename alloc_vmcs_cpu() to alloc_vmx_area_cpu() and add a comment
  explaining why we call VMXON region 'VMCS' [Sean Christopherson]

Vitaly Kuznetsov (2):
  KVM: VMX: rename 'kvm_area' to 'vmxon_region'
  KVM: VMX: untangle VMXON revision_id setting when using eVMCS
