Thanks for having a look. I stopped short of treating these registers as
RAZ/USER_WI since an attempted nonzero write to either of these
registers is a userspace bug (KVM always advertised 0).

As the ABI isn't busted for these registers I'd prefer to leave it in
place. Having said that, I'm not too strongly motivated in either
direction.
