Such as?
It's used in the next patch to keep host SErrors pending and left for
the host to handle when reentering the host vcpu. IIUC, this matches
the
previous behaviour since hyp would mask SErrors.
We wanted to avoid the need to convert host SErrors into virtual ones
and I opted for this approach to keep as much of the logic/policy as
possible in C.
Right. That's the kind of information you should put in your commit
message, as it makes your intent much clearer.
Thanks,
