[PATCH 00/11] KVM: arm64: nv: Userspace register visibility fixes

Peter recently pointed out that we don't expose the EL2 GICv3
registers in a consistent manner, as they are presented through the
ONE_REG interface instead of KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_SYSREGS, despite
the latter already exposing the EL1 GICv3 regs.
While I was looking at this, I ended up finding a small number of
equally small problems:
- RVBAR_EL2 shouldn't be a thing at all
- FEAT_FGT registers should only be exposed to userspace if the
feature is presented to the guest (and actually exists)
- FEAT_FGT2 registers are not exposed at all, and that's bad (though
the machine that has FGT2 hasn't been built yet)
- Nothing documents which registers are exposed by
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_SYSREGS
So I cooked up a handful of fixes for those. And because I was feeling
generous, I hacked the get-reg-list test to check for the EL2
registers reported via ONE_REG /mindblown/.
Eric, I'd really appreciate if you could give this a go with QEMU to
check that you can now correctly get to the GIC El2 registers via the
expected interface.
