[PATCH 0/5] KVM: arm64: Remove the target table

Hi guys,

KVM's target_table indirection is a relic from 32bit where different
CPUs had different reset values for ACTLR. All 64bit CPUs have the
same behaviour here, but we support different targets, that all map
to the same behaviour.

This series removes the indirection and the fiddly handling of two
tables.

We still need to offer user-space the preferred target, and check
it selects a supported target, but we no longer do anything with
the information.

This series based on v5.8-rc1, and can be retrieved from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git kvm-arm64/kill_target_table/v1


Thanks,
