Currently this is the only asynchronous modification of guest registers,
therefore it is fixed by adjusting the implementations of the
kvm_set_c0_guest_cause(), kvm_clear_c0_guest_cause(), and
kvm_change_c0_guest_cause() macros which are used for modifying the
guest CP0_Cause register to use ll/sc to ensure atomic modification.

Shouldn't you have a loop too around the ll/sc?
