[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: arm64: ID register finalisation fixes
From: Mark Brown
Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 18:55:29 EST
While looking at some feature enablement I noticed that there are some
scenarios where we can end up with an inconsistently configured vCPU due
to finalizing configuration based on ID registers before we have blocked
writes to the ID registers. This series aims to clean up these issues.

Changes in v2:
- Also replace the kvm_vm_has_ran_once() usage in kvm_set_vm_id_rg() and
kvm_vm_finalize_sys_regs() with kvm_id_regs_final().
