Yes, it doesn't trap but there is one register "vmpidr_el2" which is
used for virtualization. When guest reads mpidr, it will get the value
of vmpidr_el2. And when context switching, hyp will restore the value of
vmpidr_el2 and the value is got from MPIDR_EL1 which is set by
reset_mpidr().

hyp.s:

.macro restore_sysregs // x2: base address for cpu context
	// x3: tmp register
	add	x3, x2, #CPU_SYSREG_OFFSET(MPIDR_EL1)
----cut----
	msr	vmpidr_el2,	x4
----cut----
.endm
