How much does injecting a stack frame on ia64 actually cost? It sounds like
it must be quite hideously expensive... I would be inclined to implement
this for x86 by adding the nesting detection into the callback handler
(i.e., the extra callback injection would not be avoided). Keeps the
hypervisor interface clean.
