[PATCH v12 00/11] Support writable CPU ID registers from userspace

[Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev>]

Hello folks,

In the interest of expediting the acceptance of the generalized ID
register infrastructure, I have taken Jing's series and applied fixes
according to the feedback of reviewers and my own interpretation.

The laundry list:
 - Split and reorganize the changes to avoid introducing intermediate
   regressions in the series. Don't want to break bisection! Sadly,
   this requires introducing a bit of churn but to me is an acceptable
   tradeoff.

 - Split up monster changes into more bite-sized chunks.

 - Actually delete the old masking logic when we no longer use it.

 - Reinterpret IMP_DEF PMUs as NI at the time of write

 - Move locking back into ID reg specific code. Let it be known: if you
   want to do custom ->set_user() logic for an ID register, it better
   find its way into set_id_reg().

 - Rewrite kvm_vcpu_set_target() into something that's a bit more
   cognizant of the existence of a bitmap.

 - Prevent userspace from configuring asymmetric vCPU features. Yep,
   this is technically user-visible breakage, but has been a long time
   coming. Asymmetry in KVM has always worked by chance, and is
   inconsistent with the overall handling of asymmetry in the kernel.
   If this breaks you: now's your chance to plead your usecase.

 - Rip out the PMUVer <-> PerfMon bidirectional pipe. Making things
   consistent between the 32bit and 64bit worlds is needlessly
   complicated, and the only thing we care about in KVM is that the
   advertised feature set aligns with the limits of the system/VM.

 - Allow the value of KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF to change between calls. It
   doesn't make sense in the context of a VM-wide feature set, and we
   may as well let userspace do whatever it wants with the bit.

 - Opportunistically rewrite sysreg definitions to use the new syntax.

Tested with selftests, kvm-unit-tests, as well as booting an actual VM
with kvmtool + QEMU.
