At times, such as when in the interrupt handler, the guest wants
to get the vcpuid that it's running on. As a result, introduce
get_vcpuid() that returns the vcpuid of the calling vcpu. At its
backend, the VMM prepares a map of vcpuid and mpidr during VM
initialization and exports the map to the guest for it to read.

How about using TPIDR_EL1 to hold the vcpuid ?
i.e. have aarch64_vcpu_setup() set the register to vcpuid and
guest_get_vcpuid() simply return a value of the register.
This would be a simpler solution to implement.

Thanks,
