[PATCH v6 0/4] KVM: nSVM: ondemand nested state allocation

[Maxim Levitsky]

This is the next version of this patch series.

In V5 I adopted Sean Christopherson's suggestion to make .set_efer return
a negative error (-ENOMEM in this case) which in most cases in kvm
propagates to the userspace.

I noticed though that wrmsr emulation code doesn't do this and instead
it injects #GP to the guest on _any_ error.

So I fixed the wrmsr code to behave in a similar way to the rest
of the kvm code.
(#GP only on a positive error value, and forward the negative error to
the userspace)

I had to adjust one wrmsr handler (xen_hvm_config) to stop it from returning
negative values	so that new WRMSR emulation behavior doesn't break it.
This patch was only compile tested.

The memory allocation failure was tested by always returning -ENOMEM
from svm_allocate_nested.

The nested allocation itself was tested by countless attempts to run
nested guests, do nested migration on both my AMD and Intel machines.
I wasn't able to break it.

Changes from V5: addressed Sean Christopherson's review feedback.

Best regards,
	Maxim Levitsky
