We do not advertise the Trace filter feature to the guest
(ID_AA64DFR0_EL1: TRACE_FILT is cleared) already, but the guest
can still access the TRFCR_EL1 unless we trap it.

This will also make sure that the guest cannot fiddle with
the filtering controls set by a nvhe host.

We have already have the v8.4 self hosted tracing support in 5.12-rcX.
Do you think you can pick this up for this 5.12 ?

Sure, no problem. Shall I pick patch #3 at the same time?

Yes please.

Thanks !
