nitpick: Shortlog should read KVM: selftests: Ensure pending interrupts are handled in arch_timer test The fact that we're dealing with pending interrupts is critical here; the ISB has no interaction with the GIC in terms of interrupt timing as it gets to the PE.

WFI instructions are only relevant in the context of a PE, so it would be natural to add such a helper to aarch64/processor.h. There are definitely implementations out there that do not use a GIC and still have WFI instructions. -- Thanks, Oliver
