Sure. I will rewrite the commit messages for all the patches.

Sure I will try to write a common test for SVM and VMX.

Agreed, How about doing following?

+       for (;;) {
+               struct ucall uc;
+
+               vcpu_run(vcpu);
+
+               if (run->exit_reason == KVM_EXIT_IO) {
+                       switch (get_ucall(vcpu, &uc)) {
+                       case UCALL_ABORT:
+                               REPORT_GUEST_ASSERT(uc);
+                               /* NOT REACHED */
+                       case UCALL_SYNC:
+                               break;
+                       case UCALL_DONE:
+                               goto done;
+                       default:
+                               TEST_FAIL("Unknown ucall 0x%lx.", uc.cmd);
+                       }
+               }
+
+               TEST_ASSERT_KVM_EXIT_REASON(vcpu, KVM_EXIT_X86_BUS_LOCK);
+               TEST_ASSERT_EQ(run->flags, KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK);
+               run->flags &= ~KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK;
+               run->exit_reason = 0;
+       }
