Hm, by the way, what is the desired behaviour if EMULTYPE_ALLOW_RETRY_PF 
is set? Is it correct that we return an internal error if it is set 
during vectoring? Or KVM may try to unprotect the page and re-execute?

If so, we may need something like

static inline bool kvm_can_emulate_event_vectoring(int emul_type)
{
	return !(emul_type & EMULTYPE_PF) ||
	       (emul_type & ~(EMULTYPE_PF));
}

So it returns true if EMULTYPE_PF is not set or if it's not the only set 
bit.
