Which hypervisor is being nested?

Yeah, I'm also looking forward to knowing the funny coincidence.
I think a bug is likely for hypervisors that don't enable
PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK. The bug would trigger when
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() in vmx_check_nested_events() in
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() queues the interrupt ...
but I didn't see how this would have caused a problem. :)
