Hi Josh/Marc,
this is fixed by
commit 2a266f23550be997d783f27e704b9b40c4010292 Author: Haozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com> Date: Wed Jan 10 21:44:42 2018 +0800
KVM MMU: check pending exception before injecting APF
For example, when two APF's for page ready happen after one exit and the first one becomes pending, the second one will result in #DF. Instead, just handle the second page fault synchronously.

and it will be in 4.14.20. Unfortunately I only heard about this issue last week.
Thanks,
