[PATCH 27/37] KVM: arm64: Defer saving/restoring system registers to vcpu load/put on VHE

[Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>]

Some system registers do not affect the host kernel's execution and can
therefore be loaded when we are about to run a VCPU and we don't have to
restore the host state to the hardware before the time when we are
actually about to return to userspace or schedule out the VCPU thread.

The EL1 system registers and the userspace state registers, which only
affect EL0 execution, do not affect the host kernel's execution.

The 32-bit system registers are not used by a VHE host kernel and
therefore don't need to be saved/restored on every entry/exit to/from
the guest, but can be deferred to vcpu_load and vcpu_put, respectively.

We have already prepared the trap handling code which accesses any of
these registers to directly access the registers on the physical CPU or
to sync the registers when needed.
