VCPU requests and VCPU blocking right now don't take care of the vSIE (as it was not necessary until now). But we want to have synchronous VCPU requests that will also be handled before running the vSIE again. So let's simulate a SIE entry of the VCPU when calling the sie during vSIE handling and check for PROG_ flags. The existing infrastructure (e.g. exit_sie()) will then detect that the SIE (in form of the vSIE) is running and properly kick the vSIE CPU, resulting in it leaving the vSIE loop and therefore the vSIE interception handler, allowing it to handle VCPU requests. E.g. if we want to modify the crycb of the VCPU and make sure that any masks also get applied to the VSIE crycb shadow (which uses masks from the VCPU crycb), we will need a way to hinder the vSIE from running and make sure to process the updated crycb before reentering the vSIE again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
