[PATCH] arm64: KVM: Add XXX UAPI notes for swapped registers

[Andrew Jones <drjones@redhat.com>]

Two UAPI system register IDs do not derive their values from the
ARM system register encodings. This is because their values were
accidentally swapped. As the IDs are API, they cannot be changed.
Add XXX notes to point them out.
