Looks correct, but this really needs a selftest, at least for the SET path since
the intent is to use that for the NOTIFY handling.  Doesn't need to be super fancy,
e.g. do port I/O from L2, inject a triple fault, and verify L1 sees the appropriate
exit.

Aha!  And for the GET path, abuse KVM_X86_SET_MCE with CR4.MCE=0 to coerce KVM into
making a KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, that way there's no need to try and hit a timing
window to intercept the request.

Drat, I bet that MCE path means the WARN in nested_vmx_vmexit() can be triggered
by userspace.  If so, this patch makes it really, really easy to hit, e.g. queue the
request while L2 is active, then do KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE to force an "exit" without
bouncing through kvm_check_nested_events().

   WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, vcpu))

I don't think SVM has a user-triggerable WARN, but the request should still be
dropped on forced exit from L2, e.g. I believe this is the correct fix:

Confirmed the WARN can be triggered by abusing this patch, I'll get a patch out
once I figure out why kvm/queue is broken.

                 /* Restore state in a new VM.  */

Also verified the WARN with this. Then, is it still necessary to add an individual selftest about the working flow of save/restore triple fault event?
