[PATCH 11/11] KVM: arm64: Add documentation for KVM_EXIT_ARM_LDST64B

[Marc Zyngier]

Add a bit of documentation for KVM_EXIT_ARM_LDST64B so that userspace
knows what to expect.

+Userspace is supposed to fully emulate the instructions, which includes:
+
+	- fetch of the operands for a store, including ACCDATA_EL1 in the case
+	  of a ST64BV0 instruction
+	- deal with the endianness if the guest is big-endian
+	- emulate the access, including the delivery of an exception if the
+	  access didn't succeed
+	- provide a return value in the case of ST64BV/ST64BV0
+	- return the data in the case of a load
+	- increment PC if the instruction was successfully executed
+
+Note that there is no expectation of performance for this emulation, as it
+involves a large number of interaction with the guest state. It is, however,
+expected that the instruction's semantics are preserved, specially the
+single-copy atomicity property of the 64 byte access.
+
+This exit reason must be handled if userspace sets ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.LS64 to a
+non-zero value, indicating that FEAT_LS64* is enabled.
