Some registers such as LOONGARCH_CSR_ESTAT and LOONGARCH_CSR_GINTC are partly cleared with function _kvm_set_csr(). This comes from hardware specification, some bits are read only in VM mode, and however it can be written in host mode. So it is partly cleared in VM mode, and can be fully cleared in host mode. These read only bits show pending interrupt or exception status. When VM reset, the read-only bits should be cleared, otherwise vCPU will receive unknown interrupts in boot stage. Here registers LOONGARCH_CSR_ESTAT/LOONGARCH_CSR_GINTC are fully cleared in ioctl KVM_REG_LOONGARCH_VCPU_RESET vCPU reset path.
