I caught in your reply to Marc that the __ prefix here is for hyp mode
accessible code and data, but do we also need to use it for stack data?
No big deal, but it's not very pretty.

This looks like a nice cleanup, but can you please add a note to the
commit message about why we don't need to use the

 save-host-state
 activate-traps-and-vm
 restore-guest-state

and the reverse, patterns for the debug registers? As of this patch, that
pattern still exists for the sysregs.

Thanks,
drew
