There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/
request_nmi_window dance with user space. First, we don't do this for
in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user
space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending
NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to
save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious
NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be
handled while processing the first one.
Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection
interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old
KVM_CAP_NMI capability. And this time we also take care to provide the
interface only on archs supporting NMIs via KVM (right now only x86).

Older VMX supporting CPUs do not provide the "Virtual NMI" feature for
tracking the NMI-blocked state after injecting such events. For now
KVM is unable to inject NMIs on those CPUs.
Derived from Sheng Yang's suggestion to use the IRQ window notification
for detecting the end of NMI handlers, this patch implements virtual
NMI support without impact on the host's ability to receive real NMIs.
The downside is that the given approach requires some heuristics that
can cause NMI nesting in vary rare corner cases.
The approach works as follows:
- inject NMI and set a software-based NMI-blocked flag
- arm the IRQ window start notification whenever an NMI window is
requested
- if the guest exits due to an opening IRQ window, clear the emulated
NMI-blocked flag
- if the guest net execution time with NMI-blocked but without an IRQ
window exceeds 1 second, force NMI-blocked reset and inject anyway
This approach covers most practical scenarios:
- succeeding NMIs are seperated by at least one open IRQ window
- the guest may spin with IRQs disabled (e.g. due to a bug), but
leaving the NMI handler takes much less time than one second
- the guest does not rely on strict ordering or timing of NMIs
(would be problematic in virtualized environments anyway)
Successfully tested with the 'nmi n' monitor command, the kgdbts
testsuite on smp guests (additional patches required to add debug
register support to kvm) + the kernel's nmi_watchdog=1, and a Siemens-
specific board emulation (+ guest) that comes with its own NMI
watchdog mechanism.

Even worse, one test (at the end of vmx_vcpu_run) uses an inconsistent,

If an interrupt cannot be injected for some reason (say, page fault
when fetching the IDT descriptor), the interrupt is marked for
reinjection. However, if an NMI is queued at this time, the NMI
will be injected instead and the NMI will be lost.
Fix by deferring the NMI injection until the interrupt has been
injected successfully.

As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be
reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose
the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq
to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set
correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends
handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be
raised in real mode.
This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its
debug.com work properly.
Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be
fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done

The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception
is injected due to the exception in question. That's not true, however:
if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs
but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume
the first exception was not delivered.
Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it
(or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field.
