Thanks for doing this! I asked Marc to take a look at it earlier this
month, but he's been swamped.

Suppose that L0 just finished emulating an L2 instruction with
EFLAGS.TF set. So, we've just queued up a #DB trap in
vcpu->arch.exception. On this emulated VM-exit from L2 to L1, the
guest pending debug exceptions field in the vmcs12 should get the
value of vcpu->arch.exception.payload, and the queued #DB should be
squashed.
