No.

vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() and co are the broken high-level
accessors. __vcpu_{read,write}_sysreg() call into those depending on
the context, and __vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg_{to,from}_cpu() have now
been removed and replaced by similar (but private) accessors.

See -rc4 for the details.

In any case, a bunch of register accesses in this series are broken,
as they don't respect the register life cycle of the guest.
