OK, this is suspiciously close to the location Ganapatrao was having
issues with. Are you running on the same hardware?

In any case, we should never take a trap for this access. Can you dump
HCR_EL2 at the point where the guest traps (in switch.c)?

Creating the VM with SVE? NV doesn't support it yet (and it has been
the case for a long while).
