Heh, I suspected there would be failures, I was about to type up a response to
patch 3.  MTF is subtly relying on the call from kvm_vcpu_running() to inject
the event.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Make an event request when pending an MTF nested
 VM-Exit

Set KVM_REQ_EVENT when MTF becomes pending to ensure that KVM will run
through inject_pending_event() and thus vmx_check_nested_events() prior
to re-entering the guest.  MTF currently works by virtue of KVM's hack
that calls kvm_check_nested_events() from kvm_vcpu_running(), but that
hack will be removed in the near future.
