Hi,

This is v2 of adding basic support for running nested guests (L2) in
kselftest. After getting feedback from v1 [1], I mostly started over
from scratch. Therefore you won't lose any context if you start here.
Nonetheless, I still compiled the broad changes.

Patch 1 adds GPR save/restore code for guest, and vEL2 exception
vectors.

Patch 2 adds other hypervisor helpers.

Patch 3 adds the hello_nested selftest to jump from vEL2 -> EL1 -> vEL2.

Patch 4 enhances the hello_nested selftest so that vEL1 handles a
hypercall from EL1.

* Changes from v1 [1]:

  - Set HCR_EL2.E2H for the guest.

  - Pivoted from "userspace setting up everything" to "make L1 more like
    a proper hypervisor". Guest EL2 exception vectors, and GPR
    save/restore are added. There is also some infrastructure to
    save/restore system registers, right now only SP_EL1 is
    saved/restored to give L2 a stack. More system registers can be
    added in the future.

  - Removed the stage-2 page table generator. The stage-2 page table
    generator was bad, and the changes needed for the previous point
    alone is already making the series larger, so I decided to not add
    any guest stage-2 code in this iteration.

Thanks!

Adapt entry.S and hyp-entry.S from arch/arm64/kvm/hyp so that guest
hypervisors can save and restore GPRs, and provide exception handlers
to regain control after the nested guest exits. Other system register
save/restore will be added later on demand.

Add helpers so that guest hypervisors can run nested guests. SP_EL1
save/restore is added to allow nested guests to use a stack.

This selftest simply starts an L1, which starts its own guest (L2). L2
runs without stage-1 and 2 translations, it calls an HVC to jump back
to L1.

Handle an "add" hypercall in L1 to add 2 numbers passed by L2, and
return the result. This better tests our save/restore functionality.

How do you disable both the nested guest (L2)'s MMU and stage 2
translations?
