[PATCH v2 00/12] KVM: arm64: Add NV timer support

Here's another version of the series initially posted at [1], which
implements support for timers in NV context.

>From v1:

- Repainted EL0->EL1 when rambling about the timers

- Simplified access to EL1 counters from HYP context

- Update the status register when handled as an early trap

- Added some documentation about the default PPI numbers

The whole thing has been tested with 6.13-rc3 as part of the my NV
integration branch [2], and is functional enough to run an L3 guest
with kvmtool as the VMM and EDK2 as the firmware. YMMV.
