No, there is currently no exit to userspace due to hypercalls, neither of HV nor KVM kind. The point is that the return code of kvm_emulate_hypercall is unused so far, so you can easily redefine it to encode continue vs. exit to userspace. Once someone has different needs, this could still be refactored again.
