I don't the details, but I thought you could get something like an
interrupt-window-open interception by (fake-)injecting an IRQ and
intercepting on VIRQ acceptance. That will not work if returning to and
staying in irq-disabled guest code, therefore the timeout, but it should
be most efficient (specifically if the guest uses NMIs for things like
perf).


Since NMIs are used to break out of irq-disabled regions (watchdog, NMI IPIs during reboots) I'm wary of such a solution.
