Subject: [PATCH v5 15/23] KVM: x86: Save/restore the nested flag of an exception

Save/restore the nested flag of an exception during VM save/restore
and live migration to ensure a correct event stack level is chosen
when a nested exception is injected through FRED event delivery.

Signed-off-by: Xin Li (Intel) <xin@...or.com>
Tested-by: Xuelian Guo <xuelian.guo@...el.com>
---

Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.

Change in v4:
* Add live migration support for exception nested flag (Chao Gao).

+----------------------------------

+:Architectures: x86
+:Parameters: args[0] whether feature should be enabled or not
+
+With this capability enabled, an exception is save/restored with the
+additional information of whether it was nested or not. FRED event
+delivery uses this information to ensure a correct event stack level
+is chosen when a VM entry injects a nested exception.
