Is there any condition where we need this to be a spinlock? I would have
thought that a mutex should have been enough, as this should only be
updated on migration or initialization. Not that it matters much in this
case, but I wondered if there is something I'm missing.

Arguably, this acts on the VM itself and not a single vcpu. maybe you
should consider passing the struct kvm pointer to reflect this.

Maybe a comment indicating that we recompute CNTVOFF for all vcpus would
be welcome (this is not a change in semantics, but it was never obvious
in the existing code).

Thanks,
