Hi Josh/Marc,
this is fixed by
commit 2a266f23550be997d783f27e704b9b40c4010292

KVM MMU: check pending exception before injecting APF
For example, when two APF's for page ready happen after one exit and
the first one becomes pending, the second one will result in #DF.
Instead, just handle the second page fault synchronously.

last week.
Thanks,
