Yes there 2 kind of instructions we must modify, one is cover when
psr.ic=0, another one is RFI which can;t be handled by Xen today.
But I temply put running on xen for now, I am working on using
indirect function call pv_ops now.
Or do you mean there are still missed "cover" instruction?

I can login and do minimal ops, I didn't take stress test.
But in my coding time, if a cover with PSR.ic=0 is missed,
or RFI is missed, guest will soon die.
