This is triggered by running both win7 and win2016 on L1 KVM simultaneously, 
and then gives stress to memory on L1, I can observed this hang on L1 when 
at least ~70% swap area is occupied on L0.

This is due to async pf was injected to L2 which should be injected to L1, 
L2 guest starts receiving pagefault w/ bogus %cr2(apf token from the host 
actually), and L1 guest starts accumulating tasks stuck in D state in 
kvm_async_pf_task_wait() since missing PAGE_READY async_pfs.

This patchset fixes it according to Radim's proposal "force a nested VM exit 
from nested_vmx_check_exception if the injected #PF is async_pf and handle 
the #PF VM exit in L1". https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg142498.html

Note: The patchset almost not touch SVM since I don't have AMD CPU to verify
the modification.

v1 -> v2:
 * remove nested_vmx_check_exception nr parameter
 * construct a simple special vm-exit information field for async pf
 * introduce nested_apf_token to vcpu->arch.apf to avoid change the CR2 
   visible in L2 guest 
 * avoid pass the apf directed towards it (L1) into L2 if there is L3 
   at the moment

Wanpeng Li (4):
  KVM: x86: Simple kvm_x86_ops->queue_exception parameter
  KVM: async_pf: Add L1 guest async_pf #PF vmexit handler
  KVM: async_pf: Force a nested vmexit if the injected #PF is async_pf
  KVM: async_pf: Let host know whether the guest support delivery async_pf as #PF vmexit
