This patch lets the nested vmrun fail if the L1 hypervisor

Don't you have to transfer an injected event to exitintinfo?
APM2 seems to be quiet about this.

Well, my copy says

The VMRUN instruction then checks the guest state just loaded. If an illegal state has been loaded, the
processor exits back to the host (see “#VMEXIT” on page 374).

This matches "illegal state" and "#VMEXIT" but doesn't match "guest state".

I just tried it out and event_inj
still contains the event after a failed vmrun on real hardware. This
makes sense because this is no real vmexit because the vm was never
entered.

Okay; will apply the patches.
