For reasons unknown, the Arm architecture defines the 64-bit views of
the 32-bit ID registers as UNKNOWN [1]. This combines poorly with the
fact that KVM unconditionally exposes these registers to userspace,
which could throw a wrench in migration between 64-bit only systems.

This series reworks KVM's definition of these registers to RAZ/WI with
the goal of providing consistent register values across 64-bit machines.

Patches 1-2 clean up some of the ID register accessors, taking advantage
of the fact that the generic ones already know how to handle RAZ
registers.

Patches 3-4 wire in a new visibility bit to indicate a register ignores
writes from userspace.

Patch 5 moves all exposed 32-bit ID registers to have RAZ/WI behavior on
64-bit only systems. Note that hidden 32-bit registers continue to have
RAZ behavior and carry the additional requirement of invariance.

Lastly, patch 6 tests that userspace and guest indeed see the registers
as RAZ/WI.

Applies to 6.0-rc1 + the mismatched system fixes [2] picked up earlier
today. Tested on the fast model, both with mismatched AArch32 support
and no AArch32 support whatoever.
