Sorry, I got my nesting mixed up. What I actually mean is:

+    FOR_EACH_IOREQ_SERVER(d, id, s)
     {
         struct hvm_ioreq_vcpu *sv;

+        if ( hvm_ioreq_is_internal(id) )
+        {
+            ioreq_t req = vio->io_req;
+
+            if ( vio->io_req.state != STATE_IOREQ_INPROCESS )
+                continue;
+
+            /*
+             * Check and convert the PIO/MMIO ioreq to a PCI config space
+             * access.
+             */
+            convert_pci_ioreq(d, &req);
+
+            if ( s->handler(v, &req, s->data) == X86EMUL_RETRY )
+            {
+                /*
+                 * Need to raise a scheduler irq in order to prevent the
+                 * guest vcpu from resuming execution.
+                 *
+                 * Note this is not required for external ioreq operations
+                 * because in that case the vcpu is marked as blocked, but
+                 * this cannot be done for long-running internal
+                 * operations, since it would prevent the vcpu from being
+                 * scheduled and thus the long running operation from
+                 * finishing.
+                 */
+                raise_softirq(SCHEDULE_SOFTIRQ);
+                return false;
+            }
+
+            /* Finished processing the ioreq. */
+            vio->io_req.state = hvm_ioreq_needs_completion(&vio->io_req) ?
+                                STATE_IORESP_READY : STATE_IOREQ_NONE;
+            continue;
+        }
+
