Actually after thinking about this again, I am almost sure that you are wrong about this:

KVM sets INTERCEPT_IRET not only because of detection of NMI window but to know
when the NMI handler execution ended.

Even if no additional NMI arrives, if you don't intercept IRET, KVM will think that
NMI are never unmasked, and in particular when another NMI arrives, KVM will
try to open an NMI window while it is already open.

Now the svm_set_nmi_mask masks NMI either when it is called by SMM entry point,
or on migaration.

On SMM entry point, most of the time the NMIs will be unmasked by RSM, but
unsoliced IRET is also an (official) way to unmask NMI, which we will miss
if we don't intercept IRET.

On migartion, also, if it happened during NMI, we also have to intercept IRET once loading the
migration stream so that we can know when NMI ended in the same way.

All of this is of course only true for !vNMI case.

For vNMI case it turns out that we don't need to intercept IRET at all after all:

Turns out that when vNMI is pending, you can still EVENTINJ another NMI, and the pending
vNMI will be kept pending, vNMI will became masked due to EVENTINJ, and on IRET the pending vNMI
will be serviced as well, so in total both NMIs will be serviced.

I confirmed this with Santosh Shukla, and in my patch series I take an advantage of
this by failing the delayed NMI injection, and making KVM fail back to EVENTINJ.

If NMIs are blocked (VNMI_MASKED bit set) on the other hand, and a vNMI is pending,
then we can't use EVENTINJ to inject the second NMI, but in this case KVM drops
the second NMI anyway.

It all seems to add up very nicely, please take a look at the patch series
([PATCH v2 00/11] SVM: vNMI (with my fixes))
