I agree, there should be a continue for UCALL_SYNC in place of break. I will
correct it in V2.
I didn't observe this issue because UCALL_SYNC is invoked, when GUEST_SYNC() is
called from the guest code. Since GUEST_SYNC() is not present in the guest
code used in bus lock test case, UCALL_SYNC was never triggered.

Sure I will remove this.

Ack.
