Hi guys,

Changes since v8: expanded the documentation based on feedback.

This series adds the get/set events API to KVM for arm/arm64 so that
user-space can migrate pending SError, (which KVM may have made pending
as part of its device emulation), and for RAS make a new SError with a
specific ESR value pending. (Only systems with the v8.2 RAS Extensions
can specify an ESR, KVM advertises this capability with a new cap:
KVM_CAP_ARM_INJECT_SERROR_ESR)

User-space can use this for emulation of the v8.2 CPU RAS features
(using error nodes backed by mmio) or as part of NOTIFY_SEI which
extends a v8.2 RAS SError to also have firmware-first CPER records.
Applied to kvmarm/next.

Thanks,

	M.
