top bit ?

I would remove the last sentence here for the actual commit message,
that is already implied by sending these patches for review.

nit: you could add a translation function to the map array and call that
if it's set, otherwise default to copying values as they are, something
like:
if (map->translate)
*el1_reg = map->translate(vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, map->el2));
else
*el1_reg = vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, map->el2);

also, I think we'll forget why this gets set for hyp context here, so a
short comment would be nice.

what if the guest hypervisor has set CPTR_EL2.TCPAC and runs a VM don't
we also need to set the CPTR_EL2.TCPAC in the hardware and forward the
exception to the VM in that case?

you don't check here if we're in virtual el2 mode, because you rely on
only ever getting here if we had is_hyp_ctxt() when entering the VM,
right?

again, I think you can improve your commenting style to make it clear
which comment belongs to which block and only put a comment above the
entire if-statement if it applies to the logic as a whole.

the coding style also prefers that you use braces in both branches if
only one of the branches is a single statement.
