[PATCH v2 0/6] Support writable CPU ID registers from userspace

This patchset refactors/adds code to support writable per guest CPU ID feature
registers. Part of the code/ideas are from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220419065544.3616948-1-reijiw@google.com .
No functional change is intended in this patchset. With the new CPU ID feature
registers infrastructure, only writtings of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.[CSV2|CSV3],
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer and ID_DFR0_ELF.PerfMon are allowed as KVM does before.

Writable (Configurable) per guest CPU ID feature registers are useful for
creating/migrating guest on ARM CPUs with different kinds of features.

* v1 -> v2
  - Rebase to 7121a2e1d107 (kvmarm/next) Merge branch kvm-arm64/nv-prefix into kvmarm/next
  - Address writing issue for PMUVer
