Split the logic that determines whether a nested VM-Exit is reflected into L1 into "L0 wants" and "L1 wants" to document the core control flow at a high level. If L0 wants the VM-Exit, e.g. because the exit is due to a hardware event that isn't passed through to L1, then KVM should handle the exit in L0 without considering L1's configuration. Then, if L0 doesn't want the exit, KVM needs to query L1's wants to determine whether or not L1 "caused" the exit, e.g. by setting an exiting control, versus the exit occurring due to an L0 setting, e.g. when L0 intercepts an action that L1 chose to pass-through. Note, this adds an extra read on vmcs.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO for exception. This will be addressed in a future patch via a VMX-wide enhancement, rather than pile on another case where vmx->exit_intr_info is conditionally available.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
