That's not what this flag means: it indicates whether TRFCR needs to
be saved. At lease that's what the name suggests.

This sentence seems completely out of context, because you didn't
explain that you were making TRBE *conditional* on TRF being
implemented, as per the architecture requirements.

I don't think that's particularly useful in a commit message, but more
relevant to the cover letter. However, see below.

I'd rather you cherry-pick [1] and avoid expanding the iflags.

Now, I think the whole SPE/TRBE/TRCR flag management should be
improved, see below.

Can we avoid doing this unconditionally? It only makes sense to save
the trace crud if it is going to be changed, right?

Dealing with flags that are strongly coupled in a disjoined way a
pretty bad idea. Look at the generated code, and realise we flip the
preempt flag on each access.
Can we do better? You bet. The vcpu_{set,clear}_flags infrastructure
is capable of dealing with multiple flags at once, as demonstrated by
the way we deal with exception encoding.
