What do you say to


   if (nested_svm_intercepts(svm))
        svm->nested.exit_required = true;

here, and recoding nested_svm_exit_handled() to call nested_svm_intercepts()? I think it improves readability a little by avoiding a function that changes behaviour according to how it is called.

Long term, we may want to split out the big switch into the individual handlers, to avoid decoding the exit reason twice.
