Yes, I'd missed those - they were rather buried in the XML
unfortunately.  I'd already disabled CPA in my local code, and I've also
refactored the exposure of FPMR to be in the patch that context switches
it.

I see that in limit_nv_id_reg() I am missing updates to expose the new
dpISA features to nested guests.  However from a first pass it looks
like kvm_init_nv_sysregs() already handles everything I'd expect it to,
AFAICT it's handling all known trap bits?  For kvm_init_sysreg() with
HCRX AFAICT we default to having all bits 0 with explicit relaxations
for supported features (currently FEAT_MOPS, also FEAT_FPMR with this
series) meaning that I'm still unclear what exactly the updates you're
looking for are.  For SCTLR unless I'm misunderstanding things we've got
an existing issue with not initialising the res0 and res1 fields in
kvm_init_nv_sysregs() but that doesn't seem right...

Again I am really struggling to identify which specific updates you are
looking for here.

That's TLBI VMALLWSE1 which is a more specific instruction.  TBH I can't
remember exactly what I was looking for, I did go into the instruction
pseudocode a bit (I was going in via SYS at one point) but didn't find
anything so was also trawling sysregs looking for something.  If I'm
reading this right there are no traps?
