GICv5 doesn't provide an ICV_IAFFIDR_EL1 or ICH_IAFFIDR_EL2 for
providing the IAFFID to the guest. A guest access to the
ICC_IAFFIDR_EL1 must therefore be trapped and emulated to avoid the
guest accessing the host's ICC_IAFFIDR_EL1.

The virtual IAFFID is provided to the guest when it reads
ICC_IAFFIDR_EL1 (which always traps back to the hypervisor). Writes are
rightly ignored. KVM treats the GICv5 VPEID, the virtual IAFFID, and
the vcpu_id as the same, and so the vcpu_id is returned.

The trapping for the ICC_IAFFIDR_EL1 is always enabled when in a guest
context.

Way out of my normal domain of expertise, so comments that follow might
be completely invalid for some reason that is obvious to KVM folk.

The other cases where there is a __compute_xxxxx that adjusts output
of __compute_fgt are seem to be about things that are optional.

I wonder a bit if a more generic solution (in __compute_fgt()) makes sense
for any thing that must always be trapped?
