Hi Avi, Marcelo,

this series of patches contains bugfixes for the Nested SVM code and the
conversion of Nested SVM debugging to tracepoints. The fixes are:

1) A patch Alex already sent (1/9) but which was not yet
applied. It fixes a lost event_inj problem when we emulate a
vmrun and a vmexit without entering the guest in the
meantime.

2) The patch 2/9 fixes a schedule() while atomic bug in the
Nested SVM code. The KVM interrupt injection code runs with
preemtion and interrupts disabled. But the
enable_irq_window() function from SVM may emulate a #vmexit.
This emulation might sleep which causes the schedule() while
atomic() bug.

These fixes (patches 1 and 2) should also be considered for -stable
backporting. The patches 3 to 8 convert the old printk based debugging
for Nested SVM to tracepoints. Patch 9 removes the nsvm_printk code.
Please review and/or consider to apply these changes.

Looks good to me.
