Not a big deal, but I feel that it helps a lot in readability if we keep 
the names symmetric. This one could be named prepare_nested_vmcb_save to 
match load_nested_vmcb_control that you created in the previous patch. 
Or load_nested_vmcb_control could be renamed to nested_load_vmcb_control 
to match the name here.
