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!
