You're keeping the need_resched() one though?

And we are still left with the fact that CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE is
making the existing code in guest_enter_irqoff() do the wrong thing for
!NO_HZ_FULL. But in fact the rcu_virt_note_context_switch() there is
completely redundant now we fixed need_resched(), so can be dropped,
leaving only the rcu_user_enter/exit calls for the NO_HZ_FULL case?
