[PATCH v4 14/26] arm64: kvm: Unmask PMR before entering guest

From: Julien Thierry
Date: Fri May 25 2018 - 08:00:13 EST


Interrupts masked by ICC_PMR_EL1 will not be signaled to the CPU. This
means that hypervisor will not receive masked interrupts while running a
guest.

Avoid this by making sure ICC_PMR_EL1 is unmasked when we enter a guest.
