Subject: [RFT PATCH v5 0/3] Fix preemption timer optimization while nested guests run

As mentioned earlier, I don't have a reproducer yet that requires any
changes beyond Wanpeng's (patch 1)---it's possible of course to write
a kvm-unit-test testcase but I haven't had time for that yet.

Thanks,

Paolo Bonzini (2):
  KVM: VMX: reflect broken preemption timer in vmcs_config
  KVM: nVMX: keep preemption timer enabled during L2 execution

Wanpeng Li (1):
  KVM: nVMX: avoid incorrect preemption timer vmexit in nested guest
