Hey,
on an ampere altra I've got a sad selftest:
[root at virtlab-arm11 kvm]# ./arm64/no-vgic-v3
Random seed: 0x6b8b4567
==== Test Assertion Failure ====

ICC_PMR_EL1 no read trap
This is a guest without VGICv3 on GICv3 HW. The test expects UNDEF on reg
access - which is not happening since:
3193287ddffb KVM: arm64: gic-v3: Only set ICH_HCR traps for v2-on-v3 or v3 guests
As a local fix I've done:
diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v3.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-v3.c

return;
but following the intention of the patch above maybe we should do smth
like:

Thoughts?
