RCX is arbitrarily designated as the scratch register. Since the stack usage is to (1)save host, (2)save guest, (3)load host and (4)load guest, the code can't conform to the stack's natural FIFO semantics, i.e. it can't simply do PUSH/POP. Regardless of whether it is done for the host's value or guest's value, at some point the code needs to access the stack using a non-traditional method, e.g. MOV instead of POP. vCPU-run opts to create a placeholder on the stack for guest's RCX (by adjusting RSP) and saves RCX to its place immediately after VM-Exit (via MOV). In other words, the purpose of the first 'PUSH RCX' at the start of the vCPU-run asm blob is to adjust RSP down, i.e. there's no need to actually access memory. Use 'SUB $wordsize, RSP' instead of 'PUSH RCX' to make it more obvious that the intent is simply to create a gap on the stack for the guest's RCX.
