I can't tell if the compiler has worked out ithat it can skip the sys_read most of the
time... Won't some of these trap for a nested VHE hypervisor?

But, as the sys_reg arrays already have indirection for this function, why does
access_vm_reg() have to deal with this at all? Its not even needed for all the aarch32
registers...

Where access_aarch32_alias() does the shift+mask and read_modify-write on the sys_reg?

Don't look now ... TTBRCR2 means this one is a LO/HI job.

(I'm guessing that should be fixed before this series to make the backport easy)


Thanks,
