[PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: arm64: Make ICH_VTR_EL2 accesses an inlined literal

[Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>]

I'm reposting this early as there were so many issues to the original
posting that I decided to deviate from my own rules... Bite me.

This is the second version of this series I initially sent as [1],
which aims at removing the large number of traps that ICH_VTR_EL2
generates in NV environments, leading to pointless overheads.

By moving from a sysreg access to a patched constant, running an L3
workload with a a healthy amount of IO results in a 5% reduction of
wall-clock time from a baseline without this series.

* From v1 [1]:

  - Move the "broken SEIS" detection to an erratum, something it
    should always have been, so that vgic_broken_seis() doesn't have
    to use non-noinstr function calls (sashiko)

  - Drop WARN_ON() in the patch function (sashiko)

  - Switch from this_cpu_has_cap() to cpus_have_cap() (shashiko)

  - Reorganise the patches so that some of the code movements are less
    surprising to our favourite Artificial Idiot

  - Simplify __vgic_v3_get_config() to only return the MMIO attribute
    as a boolean, dropping all form of GICv5 support which made little
    sense
