(Vincent) - Collected Vincent's Reviewed-by. Building on Will's pKVM infrastructure series [2], this series reworks how pKVM moves vCPU state between the host and EL2, and stops copying a non-protected guest's state on every world switch. EL2 gains proper primitives for the state it transfers: vCPU lookup helpers, and VGIC flush/sync that reduces how much host state EL2 dereferences. The series also moves some preparatory code (such as sys reg access and PSCI helpers) to shared headers and HYP, and implements lazy copying of a non-protected guest's register state back to the host until the host actually needs it, instead of on every exit. This is the first of two series moving pKVM vCPU state management to EL2. The follow-up completes the job for protected VMs: state isolation, PSCI handling at EL2, and the resulting API behaviour. The series is structured as follows: 01-04: Preparatory refactoring (MPIDR, sys reg access, vCPU reset, PSCI helpers) to shared headers and HYP. 05: Host and hypervisor vCPU lookup primitives. 06-07: VGIC: reduce EL2's exposure to host state, add flush/sync primitives. 08: Lazy state sync for non-protected guests. Based on kvmarm/next (1ee27dacbe5dc).
