I just realised that I already have guest_context_{enter,exit}_irqoff()
for the context-tracking bits alone, and so I'll need to use a different
name. For bisectability I can't use guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff()
immediately, so for now I'll go with guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff().

Once the conversion is complete and the deprecated bits are removed we
can rename those to guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff().

Thanks,
Mark.
