I'm also wondering whether we can move the kvm_make_request() call until
after the PSCI/HOST_CALL handling is complete. I tried a quick hack, but
it did not look particularly clean, since we would end up adding
RMM-specific checks in handle_hvc():
ret = kvm_smccc_call_handler(vcpu);
if (vcpu_is_rec(vcpu) &&
(vcpu->arch.rec.run->exit.exit_reason == RMI_EXIT_PSCI ||
vcpu->arch.rec.run->exit.exit_reason == RMI_EXIT_HOST_CALL))
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_RMI, vcpu);
That said, having rec_exit_hvc(vcpu) and kvm_make_request() back-to-back
is also somewhat confusing. Perhaps we could at least add a comment
explaining why the request must always be made here.
