Yes, please remove uses of "av" because I really don't think that it is meaningful or informative to someone reading the source code. If you change that use to "_vmx", then VMX will be used more in the code. I'm not going to insist on VMX, but it never will be used more in the code if we always avoid using it. Thanks, David
