>When executing HLV* instructions at the HS mode, a guest page fault
>may occur when a g-stage page table migration between triggering the
>virtual instruction exception and executing the HLV* instruction.
>
>This may be a corner case, and one simpler way to handle this is to
>re-execute the instruction where the virtual  instruction exception
>occurred, and the guest page fault will be automatically handled.

Here should be EXC_STORE_GUEST_PAGE_FAULT, I will fix it next version.
