Rather than guest/host save/retsore functions, implement context switch functions that take care of details like the VPA update for nested. The reason to split these kind of helpers into explicit save/load functions is mainly to schedule SPR access nicely, but PMU is a special case where the load requires mtSPR (to stop counters) and other difficulties, so there's less possibility to schedule those nicely. The SPR accesses also have side-effects if the PMU is running, and in later changes we keep the host PMU running as long as possible so this code can be better profiled, which also complicates scheduling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
