Subject: [PATCH 0/2] kvm: vmx: CPUs without virtual NMIs

It turns out that Core 2 Duo machines only had virtual NMIs in some SKUs.
Patch 1 adds back emulation of the NMI window, patch 2 allows testing
it on modern processors as well.  One eventinj.flat test (NMI after iret)
fails as expected.

  kvm: vmx: Reinstate virtual NMI support
