Hi Marcelo,

w/ or w/o below diff, testing on both SKX and HSW servers on hand, I
didn't see any oops. Could you observe the oops disappear when w/o
below diff? If the answer is yes, then the oops will not block to
merge the patchset since Paolo prefers to add the kvm_hlt_in_guest()
condition to guarantee be woken up from kvm_vcpu_block(). For the
exitless injection if the guest is running(DPDK style workloads that
busy-spin on network card) scenarios, we can find a solution later.
