Makes sense.

Note that svm_check_nested_events lacks the code to check for SIPI at all,
but SVM lacks SIPI intercept, thus this is likely correct, 
the place which delivers SIPI to L1 is I think kvm_apic_accept_events,
and it will ignore it unless the CPU is in INIT state, in which
it will not be in nested mode.
