Wrap at 80 chars.

I actually like the comment, but it's slightly confusing because based on the
"real mode" stuff, I would expect:

return is_protmode(vcpu);

Maybe tweak it to:


/*
* Play it safe in case the guest temporarily disables paging.
* The real mode IDT in particular is unlikely to have a #PF
* exception setup.
*/
