Are we playing a game here? Look at my earlier reply: No _EL2 register
will ever be exposed as such to userspace in the context of an EL1 VM.

So if you want that information, extract it, expose what is required,
strictly what is required, and only when it is required.

In the meantime, I'm NAKing this patch, and any patch that will expose
_EL2 registers outside of nested virtualization.
