[PATCH v4 4/7] KVM: SVM: Inject NMIs when Restricted Injection is active
From: Melody Wang
Date: Fri Apr 24 2026 - 13:47:59 EST
When Restricted Injection is active, only #HV exceptions can be injected
into the SEV-SNP guest.
Detect that, and then follow the #HV doorbell communication from the GHCB
specification to inject NMIs.
