Heh, check out this blurb from Intel's SDM:

  An execution of the IRET instruction unblocks NMIs even if the instruction
  causes a fault. For example, if the IRET instruction executes with EFLAGS.VM = 1
  and IOPL of less than 3, a general-protection exception is generated (see
  Section 20.2.7, “Sensitive Instructions”). In such a case, NMIs are unmasked
  before the exception handler is invoked.

Not that I want to try and handle that in KVM if AMD follows suit, I simply find
it amusing how messy this all is.  A true NMI-window exit would have been nice...
