Hi Christoffer,

In just posted update on ARM BE KVM series. I posted
new version of this patch [1] where I could not address
all below comments. Please see my responses inline

Done

Example of kernel storing value in u64 but register is 32bit is
set/get_invariant_cp15. Note this function passes struct coproc_reg
val field address into reg_to_user_xxx function. Since struct coproc_reg
is generic structure used to describe both 32bit and 64bit coproc registers
val type cannot be changed to u32. One may try to describe
val as union of u32 and u64 but I have concern that it would
create bunch of 'if (KVM_REG_SIZE(id) == 4) { ... } else {  ..}'
pieces all over the place. I think it is better to have function that
just can read/write 32bit register from/to u64 value in kernel.

Example of above is TTBR0 register. It is accessed by user land as 64bit
register but in kernel it is stored as two u32 register TTBR0_low and
TTBR0_high. Note code that stores and restores those does not treat as
one 64bit register instead it is a pair

I understand concern. I added comments around reg_to/from_user_xx functions
and I think I picked better name for functions. Hopefully it is enough if
this approach is followed.

Also I could be missing better way to address your comments,
if if you have ideas how it should be implemented please let me know.

I'll looked at approach that Alex suggested, I will describe issues with it
in separate email.

Thanks,
Victor
