User code does not have to care about the details of VMCS/VMCB layout.
Transfer of guest state to/from the microhypervisor happens by means of
the UTCB data area as described in Sections 7.3 and 8.3 of the NOVA
specification. In fact, user code is never given direct access to the
VMCS/VMCB in order to prevent modification of host state.

Cheers,
Udo
