When the guest runs with caches disabled (like in an early boot
sequence, for example), all the writes are diectly going to RAM,
bypassing the caches altogether.
Once the MMU and caches are enabled, whatever sits in the cache
becomes suddenly visible, which isn't what the guest expects.
A way to avoid this potential disaster is to invalidate the cache
when the MMU is being turned on. For this, we hook into the SCTLR_EL1
trapping code, and scan the stage-2 page tables, invalidating the
pages/sections that have already been mapped in.

In order to be able to detect the point where the guest enables
its MMU and caches, trap all the VM related system registers.
Once we see the guest enabling both the MMU and the caches, we
can go back to a saner mode of operation, which is to leave these
registers in complete control of the guest.

The current handling of AArch32 trapping is slightly less than
perfect, as it is not possible (from a handler point of view)
to distinguish it from an AArch64 access, nor to tell a 32bit
from a 64bit access either.
Fix this by introducing two additional flags:
- is_aarch32: true if the access was made in AArch32 mode
- is_32bit: true if is_aarch32 == true and a MCR/MRC instruction
was used to perform the access (as opposed to MCRR/MRRC).
This allows a handler to cover all the possible conditions in which
a system register gets trapped.

Not saving PAR_EL1 is an unfortunate oversight. If the guest
performs an AT* operation and gets scheduled out before reading
the result of the translation from PAREL1, it could become
corrupted by another guest or the host.
Saving this register is made slightly more complicated as KVM also
uses it on the permission fault handling path, leading to an ugly
"stash and restore" sequence. Fortunately, this is already a slow
path so we don't really care. Also, Linux doesn't do any AT*
operation, so Linux guests are not impacted by this bug.

Provide the necessary infrastructure to trap coprocessor accesses that
occur when running 32bit guests.
Also wire SMC and HVC trapped in 32bit mode while were at it.
