I have tried running the user mode function from L1 guest, with setup_vm(), this 
seems to be working fine. 

But I am not very clear about your ask for svm tests which require usermode access 
in the test (not in the guest).
Can you please elaborate on it if possible?
Are there any sample tests you are referring to which I can check out.

Thank you
