[PATCH 1/2] KVM: VMX: report internal error for the unhandleableevent

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Wed Oct 17 2012 - 01:47:00 EST


VM exits during Event Delivery is really unexpected if it is not caused
by Exceptions/EPT-VIOLATION/TASK_SWITCH, we'd better to report an internal
and freeze the guest, the VMM has the chance to check the guest
