We just need a crazy but real use-case to start acting :-)

On a loosely related note, while writing this patch I was struggling with our exit handlers calling convention (that the return value is '1' - return to the guest, '0' - return to userspace successfully, '< 0' - return to userspace with an error). This is intertwined with normal int/bool functions and make it hard to read. At the very minimum we can introduce an enum for 0/1 return values from exit handlers. Or, maybe, we can introduce KVM_REQ_USERSPACE_EXIT/KVM_REQ_INTERNAL_ERROR/.. and make all the exit handlers normal functions returning 0/error?

Yea, it all started with nested_vmx_get_vmptr() then Paolo discovered vmwrite/vmread/vmptrst/invept/invvpid and then I discovered invpcid but forgot to update the comment ...
