> If you move the queue label to the top of the function, you can "goto queue" for #DF as well and you don't need to call kvm_do_deliver_pending_exception again.  In fact you can merge this function and kvm_deliver_pending_exception completely:

I really don't like querying arch.pending_exception.valid to see if the exception
was morphed to a VM-Exit.  I also find kvm_deliver_pending_exception_as_vmexit()
to be misleading; to me, that reads as being a command, i.e. "deliver this
pending exception as a VM-Exit".

It' also be nice to make the helpers closer to pure functions, i.e. pass the
exception as a param instead of pulling it from vcpu->arch.

Now that we have static_call, the number of calls into vendor code isn't a huge
issue.  Moving nested_run_pending to arch code would help, too.  What about
doing something like:

static bool kvm_l1_wants_exception_vmexit(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u8 vector)
{
	return is_guest_mode(vcpu) && kvm_x86_l1_wants_exception(vcpu, vector);
}

	...

	if (!kvm_x86_exception_allowed(vcpu))
		return -EBUSY;

	if (kvm_l1_wants_exception_vmexit(vcpu, vcpu->arch...))
		return kvm_x86_deliver_exception_as_vmexit(...);
