No you're right, so it can't leak into the guest, phew!

The problem I get is the interrupt code doing some things differently
depending on on the HV bit. For example what I noticed is the guest
losing its LE bit upon entry.

Perhaps a cleaner way is for the system reset case to set new_msr
according to the ISA, and then apply the msr_mask (or at least mask
out HV) before calculating the exception model? Any preference?

Thanks,
Nick

I think the proposed revision makes sense.
