Hi Sean and Paolo,

Thanks for posting this fix patch to address the issue we reported.

We noticed that commit 7055fb113116 has been merged to mainline, but seems
this patch is still under review, so the mmio_warning_test kvm selftests
still fails on the current head of mainline. Could you please help to
update the status that whether this patch will be applied? Thanks.

We tested this patch on the head of mainline, and confirmed it does fix
the problem:

commit:
   a970174d7a101 ("x86/mm: Do not verify W^X at boot up")
   1a98b7142ef26 ("KVM: x86: Exempt pending triple fault from event injection sanity check")
