[PATCH v1 0/7] KVM: arm64: Fix handling of host fpsimd/sve state in protected mode

With the KVM host data rework [1], handling of fpsimd and sve
state in protected mode is done at hyp. For protected VMs, we
don't want to leak any guest state to the host, including whether
a guest has used fpsimd/sve.

To complete the work started with the host data rework, in
regards to protected mode, ensure that the host's fpsimd context
and its sve context are restored on guest exit, since the rework
has hidden the fpsimd/sve state from the host.

This patch series eagerly restores the host fpsimd/sve state on
guest exit when running in protected mode, which happens only if
the guest has used fpsimd/sve. This means that the saving of the
state is lazy, similar to the behavior of KVM in other modes, but
the restoration of the host state is eager.

This series is based on kvmarm-6.10-1 (kvmarm/next). It should
not have any effect on modes other than protected mode.

Tested on qemu, with the kernel sve stress tests.

Cheers,
