ARM is missing something like commit 160457140187 ("KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling", 2021-05-05).

With that change, it would be possible to move guest_exit() in the irq-disabled region without breaking time accounting.

RISC-V has the same issue and it would be fixed in the same way, so let's Cc Anup too.
