For hypercalls, this means we lose guest OS priority. The front end (do_kvm_0x**) to the KVM interrupt handler always assumes that PPR priority is saved in PACA exception save area, so it copies this to the kvm_hstate structure. For hypercalls, this would be the saved priority from any previous exception. Eventually, the guest gets resumed with an incorrect priority. The fix is to save the PPR priority in PACA exception save area before switching HMT priorities in the FLIH so that existing code described above in the KVM interrupt handler can copy it from there into the VCPU's saved context.
