Doh, I forget to set

vcpu->run->exit_reason = KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL;

Ah, thanks!

In that case, my proposal should more or less Just Work™, we simply need to define
KVM's ABI to be that userspace is responsible for doing KVM_RUN with
vcpu->run->immediate_exit set before migrating if the previous exit was
KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL with KVM_HC_SNP_GET_CERTS. This is standard operating procedure
for userspace exits where KVM needs to "complete" the VM-Exit, e.g. for MMIO, I/O,
etc. that are punted to userspace.
