Of course, completely untested! Isn't this all about determining which bitmask to use, statically, once, after the system has booted? How about a good old fashioned static variable, or global struct like the global one we use for the VGIC, which sets the proper mit mask during kvm init, and the world-switch code just uses a variable?
