The code seems to handle only the KVM_ARM64_PENDING_EXCEPTION flag. Is the "PC
flag" a reference to the KVM_ARM64_INCREMENT_PC flag?

I'm going to assume "PC adjustment" means the KVM_ARM64_INCREMENT_PC flag. Please
correct me if that's not true, but if that's the case, then the flag isn't handled
below.

The condition seems to suggest that it is valid to set
KVM_ARM64_EXCEPT_{AA32,AA64}_* without setting KVM_ARM64_PENDING_EXCEPTION, which
looks rather odd to me. Is that a valid use of the KVM_ARM64_EXCEPT_MASK bits? If
it's not (the existing code always sets the exception type with the
KVM_ARM64_PENDING_EXCEPTION), that I was thinking that checking only the
KVM_ARM64_PENDING_EXCEPTION flag would make the intention clearer.

Thanks,

Alex
