I don't see this problem here. At the very least, an EL1 Linux guest
runs just fine accessing these registers.

This is not a forward. It is an UNDEF. But none of these system
registers are ever supposed to UNDEF.

So something is setting the FGU bit mapped to HFGRTR_EL2.MIDR_EL1 to
1, and forces the register to UNDEF, assuming your analysis is
correct. I'm afraid you'll have to dig a bit deeper.
