Indentation.  scripts/checkpatch.pl should catch this.

Guest-triggerable exits can be used as a denial of service - especially
under nested virtualization where killing the L1 hypervisor would kill
all L2 guests!

I would just log a warning here.

It's questionable whether to kill the guest or simply disable this
virtio-scsi-pci adapter.  Fine for now but we may want to allow a policy
here in the future.
