KVM (on ARMv8.0) and pKVM (on all revisions of the architecture) use
the split hypervisor model that makes the EL2 code more or less
standalone. In the later case, we totally ignore the VHE mode and
stick with the good old v8.0 EL2 setup.

This is all good, but means that the EL2 code is limited in what it
can do with its own address space. This series proposes to remove this
limitation and to allow VHE to be used even with the split hypervisor
model. This has some potential isolation benefits[1], and eventually
allow systems that do not support HCR_EL2.E2H==0 to run pKVM.

We introduce a new "mode" for KVM called hVHE, in reference to the
nVHE mode, and indicating that only the hypervisor is using VHE. Note
that this is all this series does. No effort is made to improve the VA
space management, which will be the subject of another series if this
one ever makes it.

This has been tested on a M1 box (bare metal) as well as as a nested
guest on M2, both with the standard nVHE and protected modes, with no
measurable change in performance.

Note: the last patch of this series is not a merge candidate.

Thanks,

        M.

* From v2:
  - Use BUILD_BUG_ON() to prevent the use of is_kernel_in_hyp_mode()
    form hypervisor context
  - Validate that all CPUs are VHE-capable before flipping the
    capability

* From v1:
  - Fixed CNTHCTL_EL2 setup when switching from E2H=0 to E2H=1
    Amusingly, this was found on NV...
  - Rebased on 6.4-rc2
