There's a semantic difference between the EL1 registers that control operation of a kernel running in EL1 and EL1 registers that only control userspace execution in EL0. Since we can defer saving/restoring the latter, move them into their own function. ACTLR_EL1 is not used by a VHE host, so we can move this register into the EL1 state which is not saved/restored for a VHE host.
Nit: maybe worth adding a reference to the D10.2.1 comment in the ARMv8 ARM that indicates the "recommended" behaviour of this register?
We also take this chance to rename the function saving/restoring the remaining system register to make it clear this function deals with the EL1 system registers. Reviewed-by: Andrew Jones <redacted> Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <redacted>
