Recently KVM's SVM code switched to re-injecting software interrupt events,

Task switch due to task gate in the IDT, however is an exception
to this rule, because in this case, INTn instruction causes
a task switch intercept and its emulation completes the INTn
emulation as well.
Add a missing case to task_switch_interception for that.
This fixes 32 bit kvm unit test taskswitch2.

That's a good catch, your patch looks totally sensible to me.
People running Win 3.x or OS/2 on top of KVM will surely be grateful for it :)
Yes and also people who run 32 bit kvm unit tests :)
It looks like more people need to do this regularly :)
BTW, I do have a win98 VM which I run once in a while under KVM.
On Intel it works very well, on AMD, only works without NPT and without MMU
pre-fetching, due to fact that the OS doesn't correctly invalidate TLB entries.
Interesting, maybe it is related to some operation in 90s CPUs implicitly
invalidating (or just replacing) enough TLB entries to actually make it work
(usually) - just a guess.
I do need to test KVM with OS/2 on one of the weekends.... ;-)
Thanks for the review,
