Thanks. We want to inject nmi to kvm guest via qemu monitor,
that's this path's purpose.

But I can't get you means, what I should do to fix this patch?
Just remove the #ifdefs OR use kvm_check_extension(KVM_CAP_USER_NMI) ?


+    static int can_user_nmi = -1; 
+
+    if (can_user_nmi == -1)
+        can_user_nmi = kvm_check_extension(kvm_state, KVM_CAP_USER_NMI);
+
+    if (can_user_nmi > 0 && env->interrupt_request & CPU_INTERRUPT_NMI) {
+        env->interrupt_request &= ~CPU_INTERRUPT_NMI;
+        DPRINTF("injected NMI\n");
+        kvm_vcpu_ioctl(env, KVM_NMI);
+    }

Thanks,
