If vcpu->arch.cr3 is stale, kvm_read_cr3(vcpu) will refresh vcpu->arch.cr3 from the VMCS, meaning KVM will do a VMREAD and then VMWRITE the value it just pulled from the VMCS. Note, this is a purely theoretical change, no instances of skipping the VMREAD+VMWRITE have been observed with this change.
