Subject: [PATCH 34/35] KVM: VMX: Report unexpected simultaneous exceptions as internal errors

These happen when we trap an exception when another exception is being
delivered; we only expect these with MCEs and page faults.  If something
unexpected happens, things probably went south and we're better off reporting
an internal error and freezing.
