Not updating the vsip CSR here can cause an interrupt to be lost, if the
next call to kvm_riscv_vcpu_flush_interrupts finds a zero mask.

You could add a new field vcpu->vsip_shadow that is updated every time
CSR_VSIP is written (including kvm_arch_vcpu_load) with a function like

void kvm_riscv_update_vsip(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
if (vcpu->vsip_shadow != vcpu->arch.guest_csr.vsip) {
csr_write(CSR_VSIP, vcpu->arch.guest_csr.vsip);
vcpu->vsip_shadow = vcpu->arch.guest_csr.vsip;
}
}

And just call this unconditionally from kvm_vcpu_ioctl_run. The cost is
just a memory load per VS-mode entry, it should hardly be measurable.
