But the injected event should still be in vmcs12 and KVM_STATE_NESTED_RUN_PENDING
should be set in the migration state, i.e. it should naturally be copied to
vmcs02 and thus (re)injected by vmx_set_nested_state(). Is nested_run_pending
not set? Is the info in vmcs12 somehow lost? Or am I off in left field...
