This hunk makes me feel a bit uneasy. Having to check something that
critical on the entry path is at least a bit weird. If we've reset EL2
already, it means that we must have forced an exit on the guest to do so.

So why do we hand the control back to KVM (or anything else) once we've
nuked a CPU? I'd expect it to be put on some back-burner, never to
return in this lifetime...

Thanks,
