That likely provides coverage for the happy cases, but I doubt it provides negative
testing, e.g. for VM-Enter consistency checks. KVM-Unit-Tests are currently the
best choice for concistency checks (unfortunately).
And given the insanity of event re-injection, KVM selftests needs a dedicated test
for that, and another for the interactions with nVMX, e.g. a la svm_nested_soft_inject_test.c.
I haven't looked too closely at the selftest that's already provided, but my
suspicion is that we'll want multiple tests, or alternatively one test that
uses KVM_ONE_VCPU_TEST_SUITE().
