This doesn't need a callback, kvm_event_needs_reinjection should be enough.

You should also check other conditions such as

	vcpu->mode == EXITING_GUEST_MODE || kvm_request_pending(vcpu)
            || need_resched() || signal_pending(current)

before doing CONT_RUN.

But this would cause a crash if you run on AMD.
