Wow.  Maybe we should request an interrupt window instead when
blocked-by-STI is active instead of clearing it.

Then we are (almost) back in pre-NMI-window times when the guest happens
to spin with IRQs disabled.

No. We only request an interrupt window if we're blocked by STI. That implies that interrupts will be enabled by the next instruction.

(except if the code is sti; cli?)

Is there anything in x86 that doesn't suck?
