3c1e716508 arm/arm64: KVM: Use set/way op trapping to track the state of the caches
Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.

So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).

This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

8034699a42 ARM: KVM: trap VM system registers until MMU and caches are ON
In order to be able to detect the point where the guest enables
its MMU and caches, trap all the VM related system registers.

Once we see the guest enabling both the MMU and the caches, we
can go back to a saner mode of operation, which is to leave these
registers in complete control of the guest.

e8c2d99f82 KVM: ARM: Add support for Cortex-A7
This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.

As Cortex-A7 is architecturally compatible with A15, this patch is largely just
generalising existing code. Areas where 'implementation defined' behaviour
is identical for A7 and A15 is moved to allow it to be used by both cores.

The check to ensure that coprocessor register tables are sorted correctly is
also moved in to 'common' code to avoid each new cpu doing its own check
(and possibly forgetting to do so!)
