Hi,
This patch series aims to fix 2 issue in KVM userspace API regarding latched init.

1st patch makes sure that userspace can get/set latched_init state
regardless of if vCPU is in SMM state.

2nd patch prevents userspace from setting vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED/SIPI_RECEIVED
state in case vCPU is in a state that latch INIT signals.

For further information, refer to patches commit messages.

Regards,
-Liran
