[PATCH 00/12] KVM: arm64: Handle the lack of GICv3 exposed to a guest

It recently appeared that, when running on a GICv3-equipped platform
(which is what non-ancient arm64 HW has), *not* configuring a GICv3
for the guest could result in less than desirable outcomes.

We have multiple issues to fix:

- for registers that *always* trap (the SGI registers) or that *may*
trap (the SRE register), we need to check whether a GICv3 has been
instantiated before acting upon the trap.

- for registers that only conditionally trap, we must actively trap
them even in the absence of a GICv3 being instantiated, and handle
those traps accordingly.

- finally, ID registers must reflect the absence of a GICv3, so that
we are consistent.

This series goes through all these requirements. The main complexity
here is to apply a GICv3 configuration on the host in the absence of a
GICv3 in the guest. This is pretty hackish, but I don't have a much
better solution so far.

As part of making wider use of of the trap bits, we fully define the
trap routing as per the architecture, something that we eventually
need for NV anyway.

Note that patch #1 is a candidate for immediate merge in 6.11 as a
fix, to be backported to all stable versions. We can live without the
rest.

Finally, I have added two additional changes:

- a file-wide cleanup of sys_regs.c, unifying the way we inject an
UNDEF from the trap handling array

- a selftest that checks for the implemented trapping behaviour (yes,
I actually wrote a test -- hated every minute of it).

Note that the effects of this series when a GICv2 is configured on a
GICv3 host capable of emulation are imperfect: For some of the
registers, the guest may take a system register trap at EL1 (EC=0x18),
and there is nothing that KVM can do about it (this is a consequence
of ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE being 0, which GICv2 requires). But at least that's
a guest problem, not the host's.

PAtches on top of v6.11-rc4, tested on the usual lot of terrible HW:
Synquacer, TX1 and M1.
