[PATCH 0/5] KVM: arm64: Assorted vgic-v3 fixes

Here's a bunch of vgic-v3 fixes I have been sitting on for some
time. None of them are critical, though some are rather entertaining.

The first one is a leftover from the initial Apple-M1 enablement,
which doesn't advertise the GIC support via ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 (which is
expected, as it only has half a GIC...). We address it by forcefully
advertising the feature if the guest has a GICv3.

The second patch is really fun, and shows how things can go wrong when
they are badly specified. The gist of it is that on systems that
advertise ICH_VTR_EL2.SEIS, we need to fallback to the full GICv3
cpuif emulation. The third patch is a direct consequence of the
previous one.

The last two patches are more of a harmless oddity: virtual LPIs
happen to have an active state buried into the pseudocode (and only
there). Fun!  Nothing goes wrong with that, but we can perform a minor
optimisation, and we need to align the emulation to match the
pseudocode.

All of this is only targeting 5.16, and I don't plan to backport any
of it.
