These look interesting. I haven't found any holes in your methods, although the interrupt depth tracking worries me a bit. I tried and failed to do a similar thing with PTI in the NMI path, but you might have just bested me there. :) It's very interesting that you've been able to implement PTI underneath all of this, and the "test driver" is really entertaining! That said, this is working in some of the nastiest corners of the x86 code and this is going to take quite an investment to get reviewed. I'm not *quite* sure it's all worth it. So, this isn't being ignored, I'm just not quite sure what to do with it, yet.
