Not sure if this is the right way to correlate the two.
AFAIU, the SDM calls VMXON region as a memory area that holds the VMCS
data structure and it calls VMCS the data structure that is used by
software to switch between VMX root-mode and not-root-mode. So VMXON is
a memory area whereas VMCS is the structure of the data that resides in
that memory area.
So if we follow this interpretation, your enum should rather look like,
enum vmcs_type {
+ VMCS,
+ EVMCS,
+ SHADOW_VMCS
