When a vCPU is interrupted by a signal while running a nested guest,
KVM will exit to userspace with L2 state. However, userspace has no
way to know whether it sees L1 or L2 state (besides calling
KVM_GET_STATS_FD, which does not have a stable ABI).
This causes multiple problems:
The simplest one is L2 state corruption when userspace marks the sregs
as dirty. See this mailing list thread [1] for a complete discussion.
Another problem is that if userspace decides to continue by emulating
instructions, it will unknowingly emulate with L2 state as if L1
doesn't exist, which can be considered a weird guest escape.
Introduce a new flag, KVM_RUN_X86_GUEST_MODE, in the kvm_run data
structure, which is set when the vCPU exited while running a nested
guest. Also introduce a new capability, KVM_CAP_X86_GUEST_MODE, to
advertise the functionality to userspace.
