Drop pending exceptions and events queued for re-injection when leaving
nested guest mode, even if the "exit" is due to VM-Fail, SMI, or forced
by host userspace. Failure to purge events could result in an event
belonging to L2 being injected into L1.
This _should_ never happen for VM-Fail as all events should be blocked by
nested_run_pending, but it's possible if KVM, not the L1 hypervisor, is
the source of VM-Fail when running vmcs02.
SMI is a nop (barring unknown bugs) as recognition of SMI and thus entry
to SMM is blocked by pending exceptions and re-injected events.
Forced exit is definitely buggy, but has likely gone unnoticed because
userspace probably follows the forced exit with KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS (or
some other ioctl() that purges the queue).

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.
