The XIVE enablement patches set LPES0 on POWER9 host. This bit sets
external interrupts to guest delivery mode that uses SRR[01]. The host's
EE interrupt handler expects HSRR[01] (for earlier CPUs). which is fine
because XIVE is configured not to deliver EE to the host (HVI is used
instead) so this should never be executed.
However a bug in interrupt controller code or odd configuration of
mambo/systemsim could result in the host getting EE. Keeping EE delivery
mode matching the host handler prevents strange crashes due to using
the wrong exception registers.
When running in guest mode and getting EE, the guest LPCR will be
loaded by KVM which contains the LPES0 bit.
