prot_mode and intr_type are used twice, making the code a little hard to read.

how about:
		/*
		 * Cannot deliver error code in real mode or if the
		 * interruption type is not hardware exception. For other
		 * cases, do the consistency check only if the vCPU doesn't
		 * enumerate VMX_BASIC_NO_HW_ERROR_CODE_CC.
		 */
		if (!prot_mode || intr_type != INTR_TYPE_HARD_EXCEPTION) {
			if (CC(has_error_code))
				return -EINVAL;
		} else if (!nested_cpu_has_no_hw_errcode_cc(vcpu)) {
			if (CC(has_error_code != x86_exception_has_error_code(vector)))
				return -EINVAL;
		}

and drop should_have_error_code.
