 See KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS for the data structure.
 
+Fields that may be modified asynchronously by running VCPUs can be excluded
+from the update. These fields are nmi.pending and sipi_vector. Keep the
+corresponding bits in the flags field cleared to suppress overwriting the
+current in-kernel state. The bits are:
+
+KVM_VCPUEVENT_SET_NMI_PENDING - transfer nmi.pending to the kernel
+KVM_VCPUEVENT_SET_SIPI_VECTOR - transfer sipi_vector
