[PATCH v2 00/14] KVM: arm64: NV userspace ABI

Since the previous incarnation of the ABI was proved to be subtly
wrong, I have reworked it to be more in line with the current way KVM
operates.
No more late NV-specific adjustment nor writable ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.VH.
The NV configuration is now entirely selected from the vcpu flags.
I've preserved the KVM_ARM_VCPU_EL2 flag which enables NV with VHE,
and added KVM_ARM_VCPU_EL2_E2H0 which alters the NV behaviour to only
allow nVHE guests without recursive NV support.
This series is actually very little new code. The bulk of it is
converting the feature downgrade to be per-idreg, essentially going
back to the state before 44241f34fac96 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Use accessors
for modifying ID registers"), only slightly modernised. This then
becomes part of the reset value computing.
The rest is simply what you'd expect in terms of being able to write
the ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.NV_frac field, making the correct bits RES0 when
needed, probing for capabilities and handling the init flags.
Patches on top of -rc3, with the integration branch at the usual
location.
* From v1 [1]
- Fixed mishandling of ID_UNALLOCATED(), resulting in extra
consolidation and simplify the macro maze a bit
- Picked up Oliver's RBs (thanks!)
- Rebased on top of -rc3
