I think /sys/devices/system/cpu/vmcs/id is more natural, which also
belongs to vmcs.

This is what I said previously. HOST_RIP is 0x00006c16 => 27670. This
means sizeof (struct vmcsinfo) => 55346 bytes == 54 kbytes. But
actually exported fields are only 153, so 4 + 2 * 153 => 310 bytes are
enough.
How about getting the number of attributes from vmcs_attrs array? I
guess this is exactly the number of vmcs fields exported; here 153.
Thanks.
