There is no trace. I think fcopy_respond_to_host notifies the host,
which in turn triggers an interrupt right away which is processed while
fcopy_on_msg is executing somewhere between the return from
fcopy_respond_to_host and the call into hv_fcopy_onchannelcallback.

Happens to work on x86, and for this purpose. I will see how to add
locking around access to  state and context.
