I noticed that apic test from kvm-unit-tests always hangs on my EPYC 7401P, the hanging test nmi-after-sti is trying to deliver 30000 NMIs and tracing shows that we're sometimes able to deliver a few but never all.
When we're trying to inject an NMI we may fail to do so immediately for various reasons, however, we still need to inject it so enable_nmi_window() arms nmi_singlestep mode. #DB occurs as expected, but we're not checking for pending NMIs before entering the guest and unless there's a different event to process, the NMI will never get delivered. Make KVM_REQ_EVENT request on the vCPU from db_interception() to make sure pending NMIs are checked and possibly injected.
