Could you please describe how to get access to a context of virtual machine? 
How can I modify context of virtual machine from Vancouver? 
When system switches into Vancouver, for example by pressing a special keyboard key, where is stored context of VM? in allocated VMCB? Can I read and modify its from Vancouver?
