Is it safe to give the guest access to BRBE if the hypervisor doesn't
switch the state? I'm assuming the architecture defaults to "trap" for a
reason and disabling the trap alone isn't sufficient.

If it _is_ safe, please can you explain that in the commit message? If not,
then this should be at the end of the series adding hypervisor support.
