Good question. That's clearly a leftover from an early rework. It
really doesn't matter, as we are merging the guest's configuration
into the host's, and the host already has HCR_EL2.RW set.
What HCR_GUEST_NV_FILTER_FLAGS should contain is only the bits we
don't want to deal with at this stage of the NV support. I'll fix that
for the next round.
Thanks,
