Well, there's more on the TODO list :-) There are even nSVM-only
features like "enlightened TLB" (to split ASID invalidations into two
stages) so I don't want to pollute 'nested.c'. In fact, I was thinking
about renaming vmx/evmcs.{ch} into vmx/hyperv.{ch} as we're doing more
than eVMCS there already. Also, having separate files help with the
newly introduces 'KVM X86 HYPER-V (KVM/hyper-v)' MAINTAINERS entry. Does
this sound like a good enough justification for keeping hyperv.{ch}?

I'll take a look, thanks!
