Looking around, it doesn't look like there's anything outside of arm64
that'll conflict on the <asm/sysreg.h> changes, and git's happy to merge
my changes with Suzuki's changes currently queued in arm64's
for-next/core branch.

I think it would make sense for those to be in a common branch taken by
both the arm64 and KVM trees, with the KVM-specific parts being taken by
KVM alone atop of that.

Would everyone be happy with that?

For reference, I've updated my branches so that arm64/common-sysreg only
contains the common parts, with the KVM parts atop of that in
kvm/common-sysreg.

Thanks,
Mark.
