This is RES0 on CPUs that do not implement SPE. Can we make this
conditional on SPE being available?

Cute... ;-)

So let's hope that nobody will build a non-VHE, SPE capable system.
Because this feels like hitting the brakes each time we enter the guest
(if SPE is in use, that is...).

I believe you can avoid that on VHE (host page tables haven't changed).
Also, if you now depend on the debug restore being run after the rest of
the sysregs, please add a comment in switch.c::__kvm_vcpu_run so that we
remember about that dependency.

Same thing here, as we never disabled SPE the first place on VHE (and
we're probably only writing zeroes there).

Same remark as above. I'm not completely confident writing new bits to
registers that do not necessarily implement the feature.
