I have queued this patch.  Let me know if you'd like to make any
amendments.  (I deliberately made the lines over 80 characters.)

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kvm: nVMX: NMI-window and interrupt-window exiting should

According to the SDM, "NMI-window exiting" VM-exits wake a logical
processor from the same inactive states as would an NMI and
"interrupt-window exiting" VM-exits wake a logical processor from the
same inactive states as would an external interrupt. Specifically, they
wake a logical processor from the shutdown state and from the states
entered using the HLT and MWAIT instructions.

Fixes: 6dfacadd5858 ("KVM: nVMX: Add support for activity state HLT")
