This patch modifies KVM to cause a guest exit with KVM_EXIT_NMI instead of immediately delivering a 0x200 interrupt to guest upon machine check exception in guest address. Exiting the guest enables QEMU to build error log and deliver machine check exception to guest OS (either via guest OS registered machine check handler or via 0x200 guest OS interrupt vector).
This approach simplifies the delivering of machine check exception to guest OS compared to the earlier approach of KVM directly invoking 0x200 guest interrupt vector. In the earlier approach QEMU patched the 0x200 interrupt vector during boot. The patched code at 0x200 issued a private hcall to pass the control to QEMU to build the error log. This design/approach is based on the feedback for the QEMU patches to handle machine check exception.
