There's a bit more happening in kvm_handle_eret().

Let's look at the code:

	static int kvm_handle_eret(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
	{
		[...]
	
		if (is_hyp_ctxt(vcpu))
			kvm_emulate_nested_eret(vcpu);

If we're doing an ERET from guest EL2, then we just emulate it,
because there is nothing else to do. Crucially, HFGITR_EL2.ERET
doesn't apply to EL2.

		else
			kvm_inject_nested_sync(vcpu, kvm_vcpu_get_esr(vcpu));

In any other case, we simply reinject the trap into the guest EL2,
because that's the only possible outcome. And that's what you were
missing.

		return 1;
	}

The FVP should be a good enough environment if you can bare the
glacial speed. Other than that, I hear that QEMU has grown some NV
support lately, but I haven't tried it yet. HW-wise, M2 is the only
machine that can be bought by a human being (everything else is
vapourware, or they would have already taken my money).

Thanks,
