Yeah, soft interrupts are handled in the next patch.  I couldn't come up with a
less awful name.

Spoiler alert, it doesn't.  Save yourself the review time.  :-)

The missing piece is stashing away the injected event on nested VMRUN.  Those
events don't get routed through the normal interrupt/exception injection code and
so the next_rip info is lost on the subsequent #NPF.

Treating soft interrupts/exceptions like they were injected by KVM (which they
are, technically) works and doesn't seem too gross.  E.g. when prepping vmcb02

	if (svm->nrips_enabled)
		vmcb02->control.next_rip    = svm->nested.ctl.next_rip;
	else if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_NRIPS))
		vmcb02->control.next_rip    = vmcb12_rip;

	if (is_evtinj_soft(vmcb02->control.event_inj)) {
		svm->soft_int_injected = true;
		svm->soft_int_csbase = svm->vmcb->save.cs.base;
		svm->soft_int_old_rip = vmcb12_rip;
		if (svm->nrips_enabled)
			svm->soft_int_next_rip = svm->nested.ctl.next_rip;
		else
			svm->soft_int_next_rip = vmcb12_rip;
	}

And then the VMRUN error path just needs to clear soft_int_injected.
