How? All the exception classes that lead to this functions are already
handled in the switch/case statement.

My take on this is that this code isn't reachable, and that it could
be better rewritten as:

diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/handle_exit.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/handle_exit.c
index 6f48336b1d86..ae7ec086827b 100644
