I cannot find the _kvm_set_csr() function, maybe it's a typo?
oop, it is _kvm_setcsr(), will refresh in next version.

And the tile can be "LoongArch: KVM: Fully clear some CSRs when VM reboot"
yeap, this title is more suitable.
Already applied with those modifications.
Thanks for doing this -:)

specification, some bits are read only in VM mode, and however it can be
written in host mode. So it is partly cleared in VM mode, and can be fully
cleared in host mode.

These read only bits show pending interrupt or exception status. When VM
reset, the read-only bits should be cleared, otherwise vCPU will receive
unknown interrupts in boot stage.

Here registers LOONGARCH_CSR_ESTAT/LOONGARCH_CSR_GINTC are fully cleared
in ioctl KVM_REG_LOONGARCH_VCPU_RESET vCPU reset path.
