[PATCH v1 0/3] KVM: arm64: Properly advertise !FEAT_LPA2 for NV

From: Wei-Lin Chang

Hi,

Previously for NV FEAT_LPA2 is accidentally exposed to the guest at
stage-1 if hardware supports it. Stage-2 is correctly sanitised out in
ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 but not stage-1. This is wrong on two fronts:

- There is not FEAT_LPA2 support for NV yet.
- It is non-architectural to advertise different FEAT_LPA2 support in
stage-1 and stage-2.

This series first removes FEAT_LPA2 from TGRAN4, TGRAN16 for NV, to
present a !FEAT_LPA2 system. Then guest TCR_EL2 sanitisation is added,
to make the DS bit RES0 for NV guests. Note that this sanitisation
can't cover all cases, as we don't trap VHE L1 accesses to the vCPU's
TCR_EL2 via TCR_EL1.

TCR_EL2 sanitisation differs slightly from the AARCHMRS, please see the
commits for details.

For testing I booted a 4K 52-bit nVHE L1 and checked:
1. It is using 48-bit VAs in stage-1.
2. Writing 1 to TCR_EL2.DS and reading it back reads 0.

Series based on v7.3-rc2.

Thanks!
