    nvmm: Check for pending host events before VM entry
    
    mycpu->gd_reqflags can accumulate action items (pending host interrupts,
    AST (asynchronous software trap), etc.).  Even if not in a critical
    section, some action items can accumulate.  When in a critical section,
    even more action items can accumulate.  Thus, gd_reqflags MUST be
    checked *after* hard interrupt disablement to determine if the VM entry
    has to be aborted, making the state safe to VM entry.
