    ms/kvm: nVMX: Allow L1 to intercept software exceptions (#BP and #OF)
    
    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.
