This is the next version of this patch series.
In V5 I adopted Sean Christopherson's suggestion to make .set_efer return a negative error (-ENOMEM in this case) which in most cases in kvm propagates to the userspace.
I noticed though that wrmsr emulation code doesn't do this and instead it injects #GP to the guest on _any_ error.
So I fixed the wrmsr code to behave in a similar way to the rest of the kvm code. (#GP only on a positive error value, and forward the negative error to the userspace)
I had to adjust one wrmsr handler (xen_hvm_config) to stop it from returning negative values so that new WRMSR emulation behavior doesn't break it. This patch was only compile tested.
The memory allocation failure was tested by always returning -ENOMEM from svm_allocate_nested.
The nested allocation itself was tested by countless attempts to run nested guests, do nested migration on both my AMD and Intel machines. I wasn't able to break it.
Changes from V5: addressed Sean Christopherson's review feedback. Changes from V6: rebased the code on latest kvm/queue
Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
