Here's my preferred band-aid for this so we can make inject_page_fault() constant
without having to wait for a proper fix. It's still putting lipstick on a pig,
but is a bit more complete and IMO better documents the mess. This slots into
your series in place of your patch without much fuss.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Clean up and document nested #PF workaround
Replace the per-vendor hack-a-fix for KVM's #PF => #PF => #DF workaround
with an explicit, common workaround in kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault().
Aside from being a hack, the current approach is brittle and incomplete,
e.g. nSVM's KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE fails to set ->inject_page_fault(),
and nVMX fails to apply the workaround when VMX is intercepting #PF due
to allow_smaller_maxphyaddr=1.
