By saying "VMX is on in kvm init", you mean kvm_init enables the VMX feature in 
the logical processor?
No, only there is a vcpu to be created, kvm will enable the VMX feature.

I think there is no difference with this assignment before or after kvm_init 
because the vmcs linked
list must be empty before vmx_init is finished.

Thanks
