                ^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not claiming to be up-to-date with the SVM code around NMI
injection, but this addition irritates me. Can you explain why I don't
have to worry that a cleared IF could now defer NMI injections for L1
guests?

The last change is pure refactoring that should not belong into this
patch, should it?

The second half is an unrelated optimization? Then please file a
separate patch.
