v3:
- Removed WARN_ON check.

v2:
- Added WARN_ON check for vnmi pending.
- use `get_vnmi_vmcb` to get correct vmcb so to inject vnmi.

I guess this should be "is_vnmi_enabled(svm) && !svm->nmi_l1_to_l2"
since if nmi_l1_to_l2 is true then the NMI to be injected originally
comes from L1's VMCB12 EVENTINJ field.

As you said in the cover letter, this field has different semantics
than vNMI - specifically, it should allow injecting even if L2 is in
NMI blocking state (it's then up to L1 to keep track of NMI injectability
for its L2 guest - so L0 should be transparently injecting it when L1
wants so).

+ vmcb = get_vnmi_vmcb(svm);
+ vmcb->control.int_ctl |= V_NMI_PENDING;
+ ++vcpu->stat.nmi_injections;
+ return;
+ }
svm->vmcb->control.event_inj = SVM_EVTINJ_VALID | SVM_EVTINJ_TYPE_NMI;
if (svm->nmi_l1_to_l2)

Thanks,
