[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: x86: avoid simultaneous queueing of both IRQ and SMI

[Paolo Bonzini]

This was reported as a vmentry failure while running Windows with SMM
enabled.  It's not that rare if your processor lacks APICv---it happens
about 20-30% of the time while installing Windows 10.

I now understand the interrupt injection code (especially
complete_interrupts) better, and I also understand why the shortcut I took
in SMI handling was a bad idea.  In the end the code is somewhat simpler
with the patch applied than before.

The bug report is at https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/issues/91, but it
also fixes other Windows failures that Laszlo had reported to me privately.
