Ah I see, I'll update.

How about move it here - then it does not stick out like
before.

guest_trap:
        load_vcpu                       @ Load VCPU pointer to r0
        str     r1, [vcpu, #VCPU_HSR]

        @ Check if we need the fault information
        lsr     r1, r1, #HSR_EC_SHIFT
#ifdef CONFIG_VFPv3
        /* Guest accessed VFP/SIMD registers, save host, restore Guest */
        cmp     r1, #HSR_EC_CP_0_13
        beq     switch_to_guest_vfp
#endif


Regarding "host_switch_to_hyp:" it has no reference but appears
like a clean separator, that's on purpose?

Thanks
