I think it would be safer to also add something like the second hunk I
posted (that also takes nested_exit_on_intr() into account).
The issue is that we're allowing L2's GUEST_RFLAGS and
GUEST_INTERRUPTIBILITY_INFO to disable userspace interrupt injection
even though neither affect delivery of interrupts into L1.
This means that L2 can block/postpone the delivery to L1 by doing "cli;
busy_loop/normal_critical_section".
Thanks.
