Why pass a pointer instead of returning the enum?

IMO, this should come at the very end of vmx_vcpu_run(). At a minimum, it
needs to be moved below the #MC handling and below
if (vmx->fail || (vmx->exit_reason & VMX_EXIT_REASONS_FAILED_VMENTRY))
return;
KVM more or less assumes vmx->idt_vectoring_info is always valid, and it's
not obvious that a generic fastpath call can safely run before
vmx_complete_interrupts(), e.g. the kvm_clear_interrupt_queue() call.
In a normal scenario, the added latency is <50 cycles. ~30 for the VMREAD
of IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD, a handful of zeroing instructions, and a few
CMP+Jcc style uops to skip NMI blocking and interrupt completion.
And if the result is returned, it means VMX won't need a local variable, e.g.:
vmx->exit_reason = vmx->fail ? 0xdead : vmcs_read32(VM_EXIT_REASON);
if ((u16)vmx->exit_reason == EXIT_REASON_MCE_DURING_VMENTRY)
kvm_machine_check();
if (vmx->fail || (vmx->exit_reason & VMX_EXIT_REASONS_FAILED_VMENTRY))
return EXIT_FASTPATH_NONE;
vmx->loaded_vmcs->launched = 1;
vmx->idt_vectoring_info = vmcs_read32(IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD);
vmx_recover_nmi_blocking(vmx);
vmx_complete_interrupts(vmx);
return vmx_exit_handlers_fastpath(vcpu);
}
