Sure. Fixed it locally at vmx_destroy_vmcs.

BTW, how do you like CONFIG_VVMCS_MAPPING ? I feel a little bit more 
complicated.

And how about rename vvmcs to vmcs12 (VMCS used by L1 VMM for L2 guest), and
rename svmcs as vmcs02 (VMCS used by L0 VMM for L2 guest).
Of course hvmcs becomes vmcs01 then, (VMCS used by L0 VMM for L1 guest).

Thx, Eddie
