No. Let's just not go down that path. For now, KVM on heterogeneous
systems do not get SPE. If SPE has been enabled on a guest and a CPU
comes up without SPE, this CPU should fail to boot (same as exposing a
feature to userspace).

So you now do an unconditional save/restore on the exit path for VHE as
well? Even if the host isn't using the SPE HW? That's not acceptable
as, in most cases, only the host /or/ the guest will use SPE. Here, you
put a measurable overhead on each exit.

If the host is not using SPE, then the restore/save should happen in
vcpu_load/vcpu_put. Only if the host is using SPE should you do
something in the run loop. Of course, this only applies to VHE and
non-VHE must switch eagerly.
