Or maybe go one step further and put the nested_cpu_has...() check inside the CC()
macro so that it too will be captured on error. It's a little uglier though, and
I doubt providing that extra information will matter in practice, so definitely
feel free to stick with Chao's version.

if (!prot_mode || intr_type != INTR_TYPE_HARD_EXCEPTION) {
if (CC(has_error_code))
return -EINVAL;
} else if (CC(!nested_cpu_has_no_hw_errcode_cc(vcpu) &&
has_error_code != x86_exception_has_error_code(vector))) {
return -EINVAL;
}
