My main issue here was just that it's really difficult to see how the
entry/exit logic is balanced, and I reckon we can solve that by splitting
guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff() into helper functions to handle the vtime
accounting separately from the context tracking, so that arch code can do
something like:

   guest_timing_enter_irqoff();
guest_eqs_enter_irqoff();
   < actually run vCPU here >
   guest_eqs_exit_irqoff();
< handle pending IRQs here > guest_timing_exit_irqoff();

... which I hope should work for RISC-V too.

I've had a go, and I've pushed out a WIP to:

Yes, you have a point and it makes sense for x86 too. You can send me a topic branch once you get all the acks. Thanks!
