Did you wanted to send "KVM: nVMX: do not fill vm_exit_intr_error_code
in prepare_vmcs12" I can spot on kvm/queue? (but sent this patch twice
instead?)

(why the extra line after the return ?)

I thought parentheses are recommended around &, but I am usually wrong
about these things :)

(thinking loud: only relevant if !guest_cpuid_has_pcid(vcpu))

Can't we rewrite that a little bit, avoiding that "best" handling
(introducing guest_cpuid_disable_invpcid() and guest_cpuid_has_invpcid())

bool invpcid_enabled = guest_cpuid_has_pcid(vcpu) &&
guest_cpuid_has_invpcid();

if (!invpcid_enabled) {
secondary_exec_ctl &= ~SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_INVPCID;
/* make sure there is no no INVPCID without PCID */
guest_cpuid_disable_invpcid(vcpu);
}

if (nested) {
...

Makes sense to me!
