Going over the patch again, I was a bit confused why access_elr() uses
vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg(), but access_spsr() uses __vcpu_sys_reg(). In
the end, vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() will write to the shadow copy of the
registers, as the guest is executing at virtual non-VHE EL2, so the two are
equivalent.

It's obviously me nitpicking, but the inconsistency is unexpected. How
about using vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() for access_spsr() below?

Thanks,
Alex
