I think we should start using the new mdcr_el2 field everywhere we plan
to within the same series that it is introduced. Otherwise it's hard
to tell if we need an mdcr_el2 field, or if a more generic field would
suffice. We can always translate bits of a more generic field to
mdcr_el2 bits when necessary, but not the reverse.

kernel comment blocks typically start with an empty line, e.g.

This looks weird because we're only managing some of the mdcr_el2 bits
with the mdcr_el2 field. If we were managing all of them then these
would need to be |= MDCR_EL2_TDE and &= ~SOME_MASK instead. If we never
plan to manage all the bits, then I think that points more towards the
need for a more generic field instead.

I see you inherited this header format from kvm_handle_wfx, which
probably left @run off the input list because it doesn't use it.
We do use it in this handler though, so we should probably list it.

There appears to be a typo in the ARM ARM. Subsection "Software
Breakpoint Instruction exception" of D1.10.4 says BRK (ESR_EL2_EC_BRK64)
is 0x39, but the table above that has it correctly as 0x3c. (This
comment doesn't really have anything to do with your patch, but I
thought I'd call it out here as I just noticed it while reading that
section for this review.)

I've already commented on my opinions on only partially managing
mdcr_el2 bits with the new field.
