Nevermind, that was also a bit confused.  The guest's sstatus.SPP is in
vsstatus.  The pseudocode for V-mode switch is

SRET:
  V = hstatus.SPV (1)
  MODE = sstatus.SPP
  hstatus.SPV = hstatus.SP2V
  sstatus.SPP = hstatus.SP2P
  hstatus.SP2V = 0
  hstatus.SP2P = 0
  ...

trap:
  hstatus.SP2V = hstatus.SPV
  hstatus.SP2P = sstatus.SPP
  hstatus.SPV = V (1)
  sstatus.SPP = MODE
  V = 0
  MODE = 1

so:

1) indeed we need SP2V=SPV=1 when entering guest mode

2) sstatus.SPP contains the guest mode

3) SP2P doesn't really matter for KVM since it never goes to VS-mode
from an interrupt handler, so if my reasoning is correct I'd leave it
clear, but I guess it's up to you whether to set it or not.
