I'm looking at patches one by one and it is looking okay so far.

Looks like this mov can be removed (see commend below).

Maybe it is me only, but the phrasing is confusing. I had to read it two
times before I get it. What about "Actions that needs to be done when
raising exception level"? Or maybe "Actions that needs to be done when
switching from guest to hypervisor mode" ?

With the guest_mode(regs) check removal , this function does not use regs
anymore.
