Dave, Sean, what > do you think? The least awful solution would be to have the NMI handler restore the host's PKRU. The NMI handler would need to save/restore the register, a la CR2, but the whole thing could be optimized to run if and only if the NMI lands in the window where the guest's PKRU is loaded.
