The comment above needs to be updated I think.

I tried running L2 with xive=off and this code slows down the boot
considerably. I think we're missing a !vcpu->arch.nested in the
conditional.

This may also be missing these checks from kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall:

		if (kvmppc_xics_enabled(vcpu)) {
			if (xics_on_xive()) {
				ret = H_NOT_AVAILABLE;
				return RESUME_GUEST;
			}
			ret = kvmppc_xics_hcall(vcpu, req);
                        (...)

For H_CEDE there might be a similar situation since we're shadowing the
code above that runs after H_ENTER_NESTED by setting trap to 0 here.
