[PATCH 0/9] KVM: Make the instruction emulator aware of Nested Virtualization

[Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>]

Hi Avi, Hi Marcelo,

here is a patch-set to make the instruction emulator aware of nested
virtualization. It basically works by introducing a new callback into
the x86_ops to check if a decoded instruction must be intercepted. If it
is intercepted the instruction emulator returns straight into the guest.

I am not entirely happy with this solution because it partially
duplicates the code in the x86_emulate_insn function. But there are so
many SVM specific cases that need to be taken care of that I consider
this solution the better one (even when looking at the diff-stat).
Keeping this (SVM-specific) complexity in the SVM specific code is
better than extending the generic instruction emulator code path.

The last patch removes the ugly hacks which were required without this
patch-set to correctly handle the selective-cr0-write intercept.

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

	Joerg
