Here's what xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending() says:

<quote>
 * Has to be invoked with interrupts disabled before the transition to
 * guest mode.
</quote>

At the point where you call this, we already are in guest mode, at
least in the KVM sense.

xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work() already does the exact equivalent of
__xfer_to_guest_mode_work_pending(). Why do we need to do it twice?

If you are doing this, please move the userspace irqchip handling into
the helper as well, so that we have a single function dealing with
collecting exit reasons.
