If the nested hypervisor doesn't intercept INTR we don't support it anyways.

That's a bug.

It's a question of how accurate we want to be.

Even if we don't implement it immediately, it's still a bug. It won't matter much until we hit a guest that needs it.

Really, pushing the whole nesting state over is not a good idea.

Isn't the entire state just one bit? Everything else should be saved to guest memory.

It's not. We can't use the guest memory for hsave because then the guest could break the l1 state, so a malicious hypervisor could break us.

Guest hsave should be used for storing guest state when switching into the nested guest, not host state. Host state is not part of the save/restore state in any case.
