The processor still in paged mode during world switch context. For example
when vm exits from guest mode to root mode, it executes world switch code
from kvm_vector_entry, PC register points to HVA address, however vmid from
LOONGARCH_CSR_GTLBC is not clear to root mode. If there is page fault
exception, hardware treats it exception from GPA-->HPA rather than that
from HVA --> HPA, since vmid info in CSR_GTLBC is not zero.
In page mode, there are two kinds of address: unmapped address and
tlb mapped address. For unmapped address there is only cachable/uncachable
attribution, but not RWX attr; and there is no tlb handling for it.
For simplicity, unmapped address can be treated as window filtered address.
It will be fully root mode only after this piece of code is executed
during world switch context; vmid is zero and PC points to HVA.

Yeap, we will add more comments about these critical exception entry.
