You have more tabs here than you need. Please put it on one line, I don't care
if it's a bit more than 80 chars.
Please add a comment describing what it's doing and why.
Also I think I'd prefer if it was named sigcontext_vmx_regs() or something more
like that, ie. it's about sigcontext primarily.
cheers
