From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> pKVM performs its own world switch for protected VMs but has no primitives to move the per-vCPU VGIC state between the host and hypervisor vCPU contexts. Add flush_hyp_vgic_state() and sync_hyp_vgic_state(). Flush copies vgic_hcr, the in-use list registers and used_lrs from the host into the hyp vCPU and pins vgic_sre to a fixed value; sync copies vgic_hcr, vgic_vmcr and the in-use list registers back. The active priority registers are handled separately by the save/restore-aprs path. Bound used_lrs by hyp_gicv3_nr_lr, the cached implemented-LR count, instead of reading ICH_VTR_EL2 on each entry. That clamps the host-supplied value and avoids a per-entry sysreg read that is costly under NV.
