We still need in_task_switch to raise TS_VECTOR instead of GP_VECTOR, so I propose instead something like: diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c b/arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c index 56657b0bb3bb..cd230b035514 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c @@ -1468,7 +1468,7 @@ static int __load_segment_descriptor(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt, return ret; err_code = selector & 0xfffc; - err_vec = GP_VECTOR; + err_vec = in_task_switch ?

I'll test this against your test case and repost (not before Tuesday).
