ARM is missing something like commit 160457140187 ("KVM: x86: Defer 
vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling", 2021-05-05).

With that change, it would be possible to move guest_exit() in the 
irq-disabled region without breaking time accounting.

RISC-V has the same issue and it would be fixed in the same way, so 
let's Cc Anup too.
