You can dump whole struct just a binary array(don't look into it in your
program), and get sizeof(vmxctx) via ioctl return. It should enough to
suspend/resume.
Then if AMD SVM mode will have different values on the structure, your
implementation won't break.

Does it make sense? > Peter, Neel

And, AMD SVM's vmxctx will not have much difference than Intel's one, I
guess.
(VMCS/VMCB layout are differ, though. But it's different topic.)
