Thanks, reproduced now.

Oh, sorry, I trapped on that polling thing throughout the patch so I
missed that the value you observe has actually only the masked bit set,
which is indeed the initial value (no idea why the guest *writes* it
though, it's the hypervisor's responsibility to put it there on vCPU
reset).

I'd suggest indeed to leave polling out for now, as it seems to be a
different matter from the one being resolved by this patch (unless, of
course, there *are* known cases with invalid vector && !masked &&
polling).

Thanks,
Roman.
