Yes, good point. Done.

We do hide the features, and for some of them they simply cannot be
implemented. HA/HD are pretty good example of how the architecture is
broken in this respect (the PT update happens in the shadow, while the
guest can only look at its own copy).

You are easy to please! ;-) Done.

I actually reworked all of that as such:

static inline u64 translate_sctlr_el2_to_sctlr_el1(u64 val)
{
	/* Only preserve the minimal set of bits we support */
	val &= (SCTLR_ELx_M | SCTLR_ELx_A | SCTLR_ELx_C | SCTLR_ELx_SA |
		SCTLR_ELx_I | SCTLR_ELx_IESB | SCTLR_ELx_WXN | SCTLR_ELx_EE);
	val |= SCTLR_EL1_RES1;

	return val;
}

Done.

It's a classic one. Remember that we are running VHE, and remapping a
nVHE view of CNTHCTL_EL2 into the VHE view *for the guest*, and that
these things are completely shifted around (it has the CNTKCTL_EL1
format).

For example, on nVHE, CNTHCTL_EL2.EL1PCTEN is bit 0. On nVHE, this is
bit 10. That's why we have this shift, and that you now need some
paracetamol.

You can also look at the way we deal with the same stuff in
kvm_timer_init_vhe().

Thanks,
