Based on prior discussion [1] this series allows VMMs to change
MIDR/REVIDR to enable migration between machines that differ in
these registers. Since these are used for errata handling the
errata management series [2] is a prerequisite for this one.
Note that guest access to MIDR_EL1 is not trapped.
