Sorry, seems I am too anxious to keep it in hand... I would like to check it 
much careful in the future.

Not exactly. No host NMI here if Virtual_NMI is set. Copy from SDM 3B table 
20-5:

"If this control(Virtual NMIs) is 1, NMIs are never blocked and the “blocking 
by NMI” bit (bit 3) in the interruptibility-state field 
indicates “virtual-NMI blocking” (see Table 20-3). This control also 
interacts with the “NMI-window exiting” VM-execution control (see Section 
20.6.2)."
