In order to let a guest buy in the new, active-less SGIs, we

Handle this by stopping all guest activity, transfer the state
from one mode to the other, and resume the guest.

Is there any reason to invoke vgic_v4_configure_vsgis() here?
This is called on the first VCPU run, through kvm_vgic_map_resources().
Shouldn't the vSGI configuration only driven by a GICD_CTLR.nASSGIreq
writing (from guest, or from userspace maybe)?
What I'm trying to catch here is the guest that has been restored with
nASSGIreq set. At the moment, we don't do anything on the userspace
side, because the vmm could decide to write that particular bit
multiple times, and switching between the two modes is expensive (not
to mention that all the vcpus may not have been created yet).
Moving it to the first run makes all these pitfalls go away (we have the
final nASSSGIreq value, and all the vcpus are accounted for).
Does this make sense to you?
Thanks,
M.
