Hello Drew,

I added some debug messages.

Without smp: Linux' kvm_riscv_vcpu_fp_reset() is called before QEMU's 
kvm_riscv_reset_vcpu() and is never called on reboot.

With -smp 2 this seems to hold true per CPU. So essentially the effect 
of vm_riscv_vcpu_fp_reset() is always ignored both on the primary and 
the secondary harts.

When thinking about the migration of virtual machines shouldn't QEMU be 
in control of the initial state of vcpus instead of KVM?

CCing the RISC-V KVM maintainers.
