Right, added the following in there.

       case HDFGRTR2_GROUP:
               sr = is_read ? HDFGRTR2_EL2 : HDFGWTR2_EL2;
               break;

Following might be sufficient for MDSELR_EL1, but wondering if these fine
grained control registers (HDFG[RW]TR2_EL2) need to be completely defined
for the entire guest feature set, probably required.

       /* HDFG[RW]TR2_EL2 */
       res0 = res1 = 0;
       if (!kvm_has_feat(kvm, ID_AA64DFR0_EL1, DebugVer, V8P9))
               res0 |= HDFGRTR2_EL2_nMDSELR_EL1;
       set_sysreg_masks(kvm, HDFGRTR2_EL2, res0 | HDFGRTR2_EL2_RES0, res1);
       set_sysreg_masks(kvm, HDFGWTR2_EL2, res0 | HDFGWTR2_EL2_RES0, res1);

Understood.

Got it.

Sure, will read through all these pointers you have mentioned here,
and be back with an implementation.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
