[PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: arm64: emulation for CTR_EL0

[Sebastian Ott <sebott@redhat.com>]

Hej folks,

I'm looking into supporting migration between 2 Ampere Altra (Max)
machines (using Neoverse-N1). They are almost identical regarding
their feature id register state except for CTR_EL0.DIC which is set
on one machine but not the other.

CTR_EL0 is currently marked as invariant and migrating a VM between
those 2 machines using qemu fails.

Changes RFC [0] -> V1 [1]:
 * store the emulated value per VM and not per VCPU
 * allow to change more values than just the DIC bit
 * only trap guest access to that reg when needed
 * make sure to not present the guest with an inconsistent register set
Changes V1 -> V2 [2]:
 * implemented Marc's suggestion for keeping registers consistent while
   not breaking userspace ABI / expectations (I hope correctly this time)
 * keep the shadowed value valid at all time
 * unify the code to setup traps
Changes V2 -> V3:
 * rebased to kvm-arm-next (to include Olivers idreg fixes)
 * fixed VM ops trapping for non-FWB CPUs
 * fixed writable mask for CLIDR_EL1
 * re-added manual ctr validation (using arm64_check_features() had a
   side effect with the way .reset is working for these registers)
 * added a testcase

Thanks,
Sebastian
