+Subject: [PATCH] kvm: nVMX: Allow L1 to intercept software exceptions (#BP and #OF)
+Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 11:41:59 -0800
+
+When L2 exits to L0 due to "exception or NMI", software exceptions
+(#BP and #OF) for which L1 has requested an intercept should be
+handled by L1 rather than L0. Previously, only hardware exceptions
+were forwarded to L1.
