Yes. The toolchain guys got rid of '@' as a single line comment delimiter.

No, we could actually avoid saving HPFAR_EL2 altogether in this case.

It means that the Stage-1 translation already validated the memory
access rights. As such, we can use the EL1 translation regime, and don't
have to distinguish between EL0 and EL1 access.

Host interrupts will fire as soon as you eret into the guest. At that
point, the (malicious) guest will be scheduled out, just like a normal
process.
