Since EventInj is separate from V_IRQ, and both are supported simultaneously
(EventInj followed by V_IRQ, I hope!), why do you need to enforce mutual
exclusion favouring EventInj and delaying V_IRQ injection?

Removing the RFLAGS.IF check makes sense because the previous patch moves
the check later (and does dummy VIRQ injection instead of simply bailing).
But I don't see why the EventInj check gets added by this patch.
