Doh, I botched my last minute rebase. This is duplicate code and needs to be
dropped.

Argh, you're right. Maciej's selftest injects without an instruction, but it doesn't
configure the scenario where that injection fails due to an exception+VM-Exit that
isn't intercepted by L1 and is handled by L0. The event_inj test gets the coverage
for the latter, but always has a backing instruction.

Yeah. The ugly part is that because next_rip is guaranteed to be cleared on exit
(the exit is gauranteed to be due to a fault-like exception), KVM has to snapshot
next_rip during the "original" injection and use the linear_rip matching heuristic
to detect this scenario.

Ya, should Just Work if control.next_rip is used to cache the next rip.

Handling this doesn't seem to be too awful (haven't tested yet), it's largely the
same logic as the existing !nrips code.

In svm_update_soft_interrupt_rip(), snapshot all information regardless of whether
or not nrips is enabled:

svm->soft_int_injected = true;
svm->soft_int_csbase = svm->vmcb->save.cs.base;
svm->soft_int_old_rip = old_rip;
svm->soft_int_next_rip = rip;

if (nrips)
kvm_rip_write(vcpu, old_rip);

if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_NRIPS))
svm->vmcb->control.next_rip = rip;

and then in svm_complete_interrupts(), change the linear RIP matching code to look
for the old rip in the nrips case and stuff svm->vmcb->control.next_rip on match.

bool soft_int_injected = svm->soft_int_injected;
unsigned soft_int_rip;

svm->soft_int_injected = false;

if (soft_int_injected) {
if (nrips)
soft_int_rip = svm->soft_int_old_rip;
else
soft_int_rip = svm->soft_int_next_rip;
}

...

if soft_int_injected && type == SVM_EXITINTINFO_TYPE_EXEPT &&
kvm_is_linear_rip(vcpu, soft_int_rip + svm->soft_int_csbase)) {
if (nrips)
svm->vmcb->control.next_rip = svm->soft_int_next_rip;
else
kvm_rip_write(vcpu, svm->soft_int_old_rip);
}
