[PATCH v2 00/20] Introduce separate nVHE hyp context

As a step on the way to isolating hyp from the host on nVHE as part of
Android's "Protected KVM" project, this series introduces a separate
register context for hyp visiting these topics on the way:

 - RAS for nVHE
 - Panicking from guest vectors with SCS
 - Switching to hyp context
 - Migration hyp interface off of function pointers

After four small refactors, focus turns to adding a new exception vector
for the nVHE hyp to use with the host. With this new freedom, the
erroneous consumption of the host's RAS errors by nVHE is corrected.

Following this, attention turns to fixing hyp panics from the guest
context, e.g. an invalid vector, so they have a chance of completely
cleanly with features such as shadow call stack (SCS) enabled on VHE.

Then, hyp is made to switch to its own context rather than borrowing the
host context before migrating the hyp interface from raw function
pointers to SMCCC based functions IDs.

This series is based on v5.8-rc1 and has been tested on a VIM 3L.

>From v1:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20200715184438.1390996-1-ascull@google.com/
 - HVC microbenchmark overhead cut from over 15% to under 6%.
 - Abandon the symmetry of a run loop in hyp and treating the host as a
   vCPU as there was little practical benefit for the overhead it
   introduced.
