I don't know if that is actually the case. One real use that immediately
comes to mind is doing an NMI on a wedged CPU. KVM probably shouldn't
glean at how the guest may use a particular call, so at most we should
just point at the spec and state that event 0 is for software signaled
events.

0 isn't KVM's default event. I'd argue KVM doesn't have a default event
to begin with. This has a precise definition coming from the spec. In
fact, 'KVM_SDEI_DEFAULT_EVENT' should probably be eliminated, and any
missing SDEI definitions should be added to include/uapi/linux/arm_sdei.h.

That goes for any values coming from the specification. KVM's
implementation details belong in a KVM header :)
