Do we still have the problem here that hfac interrupts due to bits cleared
by the hfscr sanitisation would have the cause bits returned to the L1,
so in theory it could probe hfscr directly that way? I don't see a good
solution to this except either have the L0 intercept these faults and do
"something" transparent, or return error from H_ENTER_NESTED (which would
also allow trivial probing of the facilities).
Returning an hfac interrupt to a hypervisor that thought it enabled the
bit would be strange. But so does appearing to modify the register
underneath it and then returning a fault.
I think the sanest thing would actually be to return failure from the
hcall.
