Not quite. What can be done in HW is the transition between EL0 and
vEL2 when the guest is VHE (where EL2 looks just like EL1). Everything
else has to be mediated one way or the other.

Neither, really. This is injecting an IRQ *exception* into the guest.
The actual interrupt delivery is done via the vgic. If nested
interrupts (in the interrupt preemption sense) have to happen, the
vgic will take care of it.

This is already checked by the caller: see kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate()
which has the following sequence:

	if (vgic_state_is_nested(vcpu)) {
		if (kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq(vcpu))
			kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_GUEST_HYP_IRQ_PENDING, vcpu);

which ends up triggering the exception injection.

Both. The whole NV support is based on this "put/load" sequences when
we alternate between EL{0,1} and EL2, and tracking whether you're
loaded or not is really difficult. I agree that this is pretty ugly,
but I also don't want to spread the crap everywhere (and I have
trouble keeping both the NV and pKVM models in my head at the same
time!).

Same thing. It is just that the code and the comments have been
written by 3 different people, none of whom being native English
speakers, and this is bound to be inconsistent.

Just get over it. ;-)

Weee!!! Nice catch! Good thing we almost never inject any of those (we
mostly run wel;l behaved SW), as we'd target the wrong exception
level...
