No need, all of KVM selftests are 64-bit only.

I think we can test a "real" triple fault without too much effort by abusing
vcpu->run->request_interrupt_window.  E.g. map the run struct into L2, clear
PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK in vmcs12, and then in l2_guest_code() do:

	asm volatile("cli");

	run->request_interrupt_window = true;

	asm volatile("sti; ud2");

	asm volatile("inb %%dx, %%al"                                           
		     : : [port] "d" (ARBITRARY_IO_PORT) : "rax"); 	

The STI shadow will block the IRQ-window VM-Exit until after the ud2, i.e. until
after the triple fault is pending.

And then main() can

  1. verify it got KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN with a pending triple fault
  2. clear the triple fault and re-enter L1+l2
  3. continue with the existing code, e.g. verify it got KVM_EXIT_IO, stuff a
     pending triple fault, etc...

That said, typing that out makes me think we should technically handle/prevent this
in KVM since triple fault / shutdown is kinda sorta just a special exception.

Heh, and a potentially bad/crazy idea would be to use a reserved/magic vector in
kvm_vcpu_events.exception to save/restore triple fault, e.g. we could steal
NMI_VECTOR.
