  Use the hole prior shared_gpa_boundary to store the result of get_vtl.
This reduces the size by 8 bytes.

How about moving the 'vtl' field to an even earlier place:

This also reduces the size by 8 bytes, and keeps
the isolation_config_a/ isolation_config_b/ shared_gpa_boundary
together, which are related.

I have not tried it, but I think this would just move the hole up.
The end result will likely be the same, pahole -E vmlinux will show it.

Either method works for me.

Will there be a v2 of this patch?

Thanks,
