Commit 78869f0f0552 ("arm64: Extract parts of el2_setup into a macro")
reorganized el2 setup in such way that virtual cpu id registers set
only in nVHE, yet they used (and need) to be set irrespective VHE
support.

  v1 -> v2
     - Drop the reference to 32bit guests from commit message (per Marc)

There is no upstream fix since issue went away due to code there has
been reworked in 5.12: nVHE comes first, so virtual cpu id register
are always set.

Maintainers, please, Ack.

It's a bit weird to have a patch in stable that isn't upstream, but I don't
see a better option here.
Yes, I'd agree here - the commits that would need to be backported look
way too invasive.

I've queued it up, thanks.
I don't see it, so I've added it as well...

thanks,
