Subject: [PATCH 1/9] KVM: SVM: Notify nested hypervisor of lost event injections

From: Alexander Graf <agraf@...e.de>

If event_inj is valid on a #vmexit the host CPU would write
the contents to exit_int_info, so the hypervisor knows that
the event wasn't injected.

We don't do this in nested SVM by now which is a bug and
fixed by this patch.
