This patch series enable userspace writable for below idregs:
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1, ID_DFR0_EL1, ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, ID_AA64MMFR{0, 1, 2, 3}_EL1.

It is based on v6.5-rc1 which contains infrastructure for writable idregs.

A selftest is added to verify that KVM handles the writings from user space
correctly.

A relevant patch from Oliver is picked from [3].

---

* v5 -> v6
  - Override the type of field AA64DFR0_EL1_DebugVer to be FTR_LOWER_SAFE by the
    discussion of Oliver and Suraj.

* v4 -> v5
  - Rebase on v6.4-rc1 which contains infrastructure for writable idregs.
  - Use guest ID registers values for the sake of emulation.
  - Added a selftest to verify idreg userspace writing.

* v3 -> v4
  - Rebase on v11 of writable idregs series at [2].

* v2 -> v3
  - Rebase on v6 of writable idregs series.
  - Enable writable for ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 and ID_AA64MMFR{0, 1, 2}_EL1.

* v1 -> v2
  - Rebase on latest patch series [1] of enabling writable ID register.
