I think it would be, because of the wrinkle that hyp mode doesn't have a banked LR, so the existing "assume we can just translate the mode into a single index good for both LR and SP" logic would break. The minimal change if we wanted to keep VMSD bumps to a minimum would be to increase the size of the banked_spsr[] and banked_r13[] arrays to allow for Hyp mode but do nothing else (except add a comment about it I guess). > The motiviation is less VMSD version bumps in ARM CPU (a place where I > expect assume such version bumps to be considerable annoyance). Well, they're only a problem at the point where we start trying to support cross-version migration; we're not at that point yet... thanks -- PMM
