[PATCH v3 0/9] Support VGIC save/restore using device control API

[Christoffer Dall]

Implement save/restore of the VGIC state using the newer KVM Device
Control API.  This requries some number of changes to existing code in
addition to actually supporting save/restore of the necessary state.

The first patches (01-03) support creating the VGIC using the Device
Control API.  This change is necessary because there are no other
suitable KVM APIs that we can leverage to access the VGIC state from
user space and the device control API was crafted exactly for this
purpose.

Subsequent patches add the missing infrastructure and user space API
pieces necessary to actually save and restore the VGIC state.  The GIC
v2.0 architecture specification already specifies registers that can be
used to save and restore the complete VGIC state for suspend/resume
purposes on real hardware, and we can resuse this interface for the
VGIC.  The API is therefore based on the memory-mapped register accesses
defined in the specs.  See the individual patches for details.

The patches are based on kvm-arm-next with the arch timers save/restore
patches applied:

This patch series based on the above can be cloned from:
git://git.linaro.org/people/cdall/linux-kvm-arm.git vgic-migrate-v3

User space patches for QEMU have also been posted on the list, but an
updated version is underway.  Tested on Versatile Express TC2.

Changelogs in the individual patches.
