(you could improve the commit message by briefly explaining how/why user-space
would want to do this. As this is patch 1, you don't have the context of the

(Nit: 'the guest')

'dev_ioctl' feels a bit weird, but we already have cpu_has_32bit_el1() in here.

(patch 1&2 should probably be swapped around, as on its own this does thing).
