[PATCH v3 29/66] KVM: arm64: nv: Configure HCR_EL2 for nested virtualization

From: Jintack Lim <jintack.lim at linaro.org>

We enable nested virtualization by setting the HCR NV and NV1 bit.

When the virtual E2H bit is set, we can support EL2 register accesses
via EL1 registers from the virtual EL2 by doing trap-and-emulate. A
better alternative, however, is to allow the virtual EL2 to access EL2
register states without trap. This can be easily achieved by not traping
EL1 registers since those registers already have EL2 register states.
