[PATCH v4 00/19] 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. Topics include:

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

First 4 patches are small refactors. Then an exception vector is added
just for the nVHE host to untangle the existing EL2 vector e.g. to
separate the RAS cases.

Hyp panics from the guest context, e.g. from an invalid vector, are
fixed so they have a chance of completely cleanly with features that
depend on register state such as x18 for shadow call stack (SCS) enabled
on VHE.

Finally, 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.

>From v3:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20200903135307.251331-1-ascull@google.com/
 - Rebased onto 5.9-rc4
 - Addressed review comments

>From v2:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20200820103446.959000-1-ascull@google.com/
 - Rebased onto 5.9-rc3.
 - Removed some of the unused separation of host and hyp.

>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.
