Subject: [PATCH 0/7] KVM: SVM: baby steps towards nested state migration

Here are some refactorings to prepare for an SVM implementation of
KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.  It's a prerequisite for that to eliminate
exit_required, moving exceptions to svm_check_nested_events.  However:

- I might work on that soon, because it's needed to handle RSM when
the L1 hypervisor wants to get it from #UD rather than the specific
RSM intercept

- this should be enough to get a quick prototype, that I need in order to
debug a particularly crazy bug and figure out its reproducibility.

So, I am getting these patches out of my todo list for now.

Thanks,

Paolo
