KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS might actually lead to vcpu registers being modified.
As such this should be the last step of sync to avoid potential overwriting
of whatever changes KVM might have done.

Hi; I'm going to take patch 1 into target-arm.next since it
seems worth having on its own and I'm doing a pullreq today
anyway. Andrew's given you feedback on patch 2.

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for that. Will drop this one from the next version of the patchset
once I address all the comments.
