But we need to revert the patch that introduced use of request for NMI
first. Otherwise NMI will not be delivered, no?

What about the check in inject_pending_events()?

Didn't we decide that this check is not a problem? Worst that can happen
is NMI injection will be delayed till next exit.

esp. important with NMI, which may be used in a situation where your
tick (and everything else) are dead.

Well the host must be alive. So eventually NMI will be delivered to the
guest, but not closely matching guest visible clocks.
What is the problem with that? The race should be rare enough to not
interfere with NMI watchdog-like things?

If host is alive eventually cpu should receive reschedule IPI.
