As far as I can see in this case:
is_vnmi_enabled() returns whether VMCB02's int_ctl has V_NMI_ENABLE bit set.

This field in VMCB02 comes from nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() which
in the !nested_vnmi_enabled() case (L1 is not using vNMI) copies these bits
from VMCB01:
> int_ctl_vmcb01_bits |= (V_NMI_PENDING | V_NMI_ENABLE | V_NMI_MASK);

So in this case (L0 uses vNMI) V_NMI_ENABLE will be set in VMCB01, right?

This bit will then be copied to VMCB02 so re-injection will attempt to use
vNMI instead of EVTINJ.

This case is ok.

Thanks,
