Hello,

assuming that the VCPU is paused while waiting for userspace to respond 
to a page fault mem_event, and userspace calls libxc's 
xc_domain_hvm_getcontext_partial(... CPU ...) and tries to inspect RIP, 
is this a safe thing to do? Is RIP's value guaranteed to be safe to 
inspect in this context?

Thanks,
Razvan Cojocaru
