First, this must return 1 (or set an exit reason, but there is no reason
to escape to user space here). And second, I think a corner case is not
handled the same way as on real iron: If there is already the next NMI
waiting, we will inject it before iret, not after its execution as it
should be.

No easy solution for this yet. Maybe emulating iret, but there is no
implementation, specifically for protected mode. Maybe setting a
breakpoint. Or maybe enforcing a single step exception. Nothing trivial
in this list. On the other hand, this may only be a slight imprecision
of the virtualization. Need to think about it.
