Okay good. Make that clear in the changelog, ideally if you can give
a recipe the reader is able to recreate is good too, (e.g., run the
guest machine with -smp 4,threads=4 and xive=off boot parameter).

Okay then I didn't miss something. Thanks v1 fix would be good too.
I think it should look something like putting doorbell_request into
hv_guest_state->dpdes that make the H_ENTER_NESTED call with.

For v1 you will need to restore the state back from dpdes back to
doorbell_request on exit, because the L0 doesn't keep it for you.

Thanks,
Nick
