Right, the simplest thing to do here is another is_guest_mode check in
kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present.  That would delay the signaling
of ready pages while L2 runs, but hopefully we're under memory pressure
so L2 will get a page fault too.		

In fact, kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present should just be

        if (!(vcpu->arch.apf.msr_val & KVM_ASYNC_PF_ENABLED))
                return true;
        else
                return can_do_async_pf(vcpu);

where can_do_async_pf becomes nonstatic.
