Hi Vitaly,

What is host_apf_reason used for. Looks like it is somehow used in
context of nested guests. I hope by now you have been able to figure
it out.

Is it somehow the case of that L2 guest takes a page fault exit
and then L0 injects this event in L1 using exception. I have been
trying to read this code but can't wrap my head around it.

I am still concerned about the case of nested kvm. We have discussed
apf mechanism but never touched nested part of it. Given we are
touching code in nested kvm part, want to make sure it is not broken
in new design.

Thanks
Vivek
