KVM: arm64: Fix vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() accessors
Volodymyr reports (again!) that under some circumstances (E2H==0,
walking S1 PTs), PAR_EL1 doesn't report the value of the latest
walk in the CPU register, but that instead the value is written to
the backing store.
Further investigation indicates that the root cause of this is
that a group of registers (PAR_EL1, TPIDR*_EL{0,1}, the *32_EL2 dregs)
should always be considered as "on CPU", as they are not remapped
between EL1 and EL2.
We fail to treat them accordingly, and end-up considering that
the register (PAR_EL1 in this example) should be written to memory
instead of in the register.
While it would be possible to quickly work around it, it is obvious
that the way we track these things at the moment is pretty horrible,
and could do with some improvement.
Revamp the whole thing by:
- defining a location for a register (memory, cpu), potentially
depending on the state of the vcpu
- define a transformation for this register (mapped register, potential
translation, special register needing some particular attention)
- convey this information in a structure that can be easily passed
around
As a result, the accessors themselves become much simpler, as the
state is explicit instead of being driven by hard-to-understand
conventions.
We get rid of the "pure EL2 register" notion, which wasn't very
useful, and add sanitisation of the values by applying the RESx
masks as required, something that was missing so far.
And of course, we add the missing registers to the list, with the
indication that they are always loaded.
