Virtual External Interrupt vector (0x3400)
Name
Cause
The guest highest pending interrupt (GHPI) specified by the VMM is unmasked on the
virtual processor.
IPSR.is indicates which instruction set was executing at the time of the interruption.
Interruptions on this vector:
Virtual External Interrupt
Parameters
IIP, IPSR, IIPA, IFS – are defined; refer to
IIB0, IIB1 – If implemented, the IIB registers are undefined. Please refer to
Section 3.3.5.10, "Interruption Instruction Bundle Registers (IIB0-1 – CR26, 27)" on
page 2:42
ISR – The ISR.ei bits are set to indicate which instruction was to be executed when the
external interrupt event was taken. The defined ISR bits are specified below. For
external interrupts taken in the IA-32 instruction set, ISR.ei, ni and ir bits are 0.

Software is expected to avoid situations which could cause ISR.ni to be 1.
