Thanks for at least giving it a try, this is *MUCH* appreciated.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes

Yes. Don't miss check_fgt_bit() though.  You also need to update
kvm_init_nv_sysregs() to ensure that these new registers have the
correct RES0/RES1 behaviour depending on the supported feature set for
the guest.

This is very cumbersome, and we now have a much better infrastructure
for the stuff that is handled with FGTs, see below.

What is missing is the Fine-Grained-Undef part. You need to update
kvm_init_sysreg() so that kvm->arch.fgu[HDFGRTR2_GROUP] has all the
correct bits set for anything that needs to UNDEF depending on the
guest configuration.

For example, in your case, I'd expect to see something like:

if (!kvm_has_feat(kvm, ID_AA64DFR0_EL1, DebugVer, V8P9))
	kvm->arch.fgu[HDFGRTR2_GROUP] |= ~(HDFGRTR2_EL2_nMDSELR_EL1 | [...]);

Then allowing the feature becomes conditioned on the bit being clear,
and the trap handler only needs to deal with the actual emulation, and
not the feature checking.

I appreciate that this is a lot to swallow, but I'd be very happy to
review patches implementing this and provide guidance. It is all
pretty simple, just that there is a lot of parts all over the place.
In the end, this is only about following the architecture.

Thanks again,

	M.
