After this patch, they will hit it.
Before this patch, those users had access to arch_safe_halt() -> native_safe_halt() path. With this patch, such users can execute arch_safe_halt -> pv_native_safe_halt() -> native_safe_halt(), so this patch doesn't cause any additional regression. > > So, there are two possibilities: > > 1.
