   vcpu_load
   change MSR register
   vcpu_put

• wait for the VM to try to execute a sysenter/syscall
• generate an General Protection Fault/Undefined Opcode
• vmx.c:hande_exception()
• emulate_instruction
• emulate.c:em_syscall/em_sysenter

nitro.event.present = True

• x86.c:vcpu_run()

if (nitro.event.present)
   report_event

• nitro_x86.c:report_event()

nitro_wait()
wait for userland to call get_event()

• userland called continue_vm()
