Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you

Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.
So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).
This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

The virtual MPIDR registers (containing topology information) for the
guest are currently mapped linearily to the vcpu_id. Improve this
mapping for arm64 by using three levels to not artificially limit the
number of vCPUs.
To help this, change and rename the kvm_vcpu_get_mpidr() function to
mask off the non-affinity bits in the MPIDR register.
Also add an accessor to later allow easier access to a vCPU with a
given MPIDR. Use this new accessor in the PSCI emulation.

When userspace resets the vcpu using KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, we should also
reset the HCR, because we now modify the HCR dynamically to
enable/disable trapping of guest accesses to the VM registers.
This is crucial for reboot of VMs working since otherwise we will not be
doing the necessary cache maintenance operations when faulting in pages
with the guest MMU off.

When we catch something that's not a permission fault or a translation
fault, we log the unsupported FSC in the kernel log, but we were masking
off the bottom bits of the FSC which was not very helpful.
Also correctly report the FSC for data and instruction faults rather
than telling people it was a DFCS, which doesn't exist in the ARM ARM.

The KVM PSCI code blindly assumes that vcpu_id and MPIDR are
the same thing. This is true when vcpus are organized as a flat
topology, but is wrong when trying to emulate any other topology
(such as A15 clusters).

of the vcpu_id to pick a target CPU.

Admitedly, reading a MMIO register to load PC is very weird.
Writing PC to a MMIO register is probably even worse. But
the architecture doesn't forbid any of these, and injecting
a Prefetch Abort is the wrong thing to do anyway.
Remove this check altogether, and let the adventurous guest
wander into LaLaLand if they feel compelled to do so.

On 32bit ARM, unsigned long is guaranteed to be a 32bit quantity.

PSCI/KVM is detected using the KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI capability.

When the guest accesses I/O memory this will create data abort
exceptions and they are handled by decoding the HSR information
(physical address, read/write, length, register) and forwarding reads
and writes to QEMU which performs the device emulation.
Certain classes of load/store operations do not support the syndrome
information provided in the HSR. We don't support decoding these (patches
are available elsewhere), so we report an error to user space in this case.
This requires changing the general flow somewhat since new calls to run
the VCPU must check if there's a pending MMIO load and perform the write
after userspace has made the data available.

Adds a new important function in the main KVM/ARM code called
handle_exit() which is called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() on returns
from guest execution. This function examines the Hyp-Syndrome-Register
(HSR), which contains information telling KVM what caused the exit from
the guest.
Some of the reasons for an exit are CP15 accesses, which are
not allowed from the guest and this commit handles these exits by
emulating the intended operation in software and skipping the guest
instruction.
Minor notes about the coproc register reset:
1) We reserve a value of 0 as an invalid cp15 offset, to catch bugs in our
table, at cost of 4 bytes per vcpu.
2) Added comments on the table indicating how we handle each register, for
simplicity of understanding.
