I just smoke-tested this patch series on my system.

Patch 24 doesn't apply cleanly on top of kvm/queue, I appplied it manually,
due to missing KVM_STATE_NESTED_MTF_PENDING bit

Also patch 22 needes ALIGN_UP which is not on mainline.
Probably in linux-next?

With these fixes, I don't see #DE exceptions on a nested guest I try to run
however it still hangs, right around the time it tries to access PS/2 keyboard/mouse.
