[PATCH v2 00/22] KVM: Event fixes and cleanup

[Paolo Bonzini]

This is v2 of Sean's patch series, where the generic and VMX parts
are left more or less untouched and SVM gets the same cure.  It also
incorporates Cathy's patch to move nested NMI to svm_check_nested_events,
which just works thanks to preliminary changes that switch
svm_check_nested_events to look more like VMX.  In particular, the vmexit
is performed immediately instead of being scheduled via exit_required,
so that GIF is cleared and inject_pending_event automagically requests
an interrupt/NMI/SMI window.  This in turn requires the addition of a
nested_run_pending flag similar to VMX's.

As in the Intel patch, check_nested_events is now used for SMIs as well,
so that only exceptions are using the old mechanism.  Likewise,
exit_required is only used for exceptions (and that should go away next).
SMIs can cause a vmexit on AMD, unlike on Intel without dual-monitor
treatment, and are blocked by GIF=0, hence the few SMI-related changes
in common code (patch 9).

Sean's changes to common code are more or less left untouched, except
for the last patch to replace the late check_nested_events() hack.  Even
though it turned out to be unnecessary for NMIs, I think the new fix
makes more sense if applied generally to all events---even NMIs and SMIs,
despite them never being injected asynchronously.  If people prefer to
have a WARN instead we can do that, too.

Because of this, I added a bool argument to interrupt_allowed, nmi_allowed
and smi_allowed instead of adding a fourth hook.

I have some ideas about how to rework the event injection code in the
way that Sean mentioned in his cover letter.  It's not even that scary,
with the right set of testcases and starting from code that (despite its
deficiencies) actually makes some sense and is not a pile of hacks, and
I am very happy in that respect about the general ideas behind these
patches.  Even though some hacks remain it's a noticeable improvement,
and it's very good that Intel and AMD can be brought more or less on
the same page with respect to nested guest event injection.

Please review!
