Well, it all looked fine from a quick scan. One small comment, and
even that was just a minor stylistic nit.

I didn't actually look through the x86 state infrastructure side -
I'll just trust that is fine, and it doesn't interact with anything
else, so I don't really worry about it. I mainly care about the VM
side not causing problems, and the changes on that side all looked
fine.
