Don't know. Some field that VMX change on vmresume and since from L2
point of view vmresume was executed, but in reality it was not the
result that L2 will see will be incorrect. vm_entry_intr_info_field is
on of such fields, may be there are or will be more (vAPIC+posted
interrupt)?

Suppose the vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field is valid and L0 want to
inject an interrupt directly into L2 and L2 does not block interrupts.
vmx_interrupt_allowed() will return true, so vmx_inject_irq()
will be called and L0->L2 interrupt information will be written
to VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD.  Now in vmx_vcpu_run() there is again
check for valid vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field and if it is valid
VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD is overwritten with it. Interrupt that L0 just
injected into L2 was lost forever.
