Does the reset value actually matter here? I don't see it being
specific to VHE systems, and all we're trying to achieve is to restore
the SPE configuration to a state where it can be used by the host.

How can the guest be allowed to change E2PB settings? Or do you mean
here that allowing the guest to use SPE will mandate changes of the
E2PB settings, and that we'd better restore the hypervisor state once
we exit?

I'm OK with this change, but I believe the commit message could use
some tidying up.
Thanks,
