Aargh, this somehow got lost in my pile of "comments to address", sorry!
Short answer: yes, please.
Last thing I did was following your suggestion from last time about
refactoring the check from kvm_vgic_create(): I think this doesn't help,
because it's only a check and we return -EBUSY or so instead of actually
enforcing VCPUs to exit. So if you could try to use your fancy new
make-the-guest-exit feature here?

Cheers,
Andre.
