[v4,0/3] KVM: arm64: mixed-width check should be skipped for uninitialized vCPUs

Message

KVM allows userspace to configure either all EL1 32bit or 64bit vCPUs
for a guest.  At vCPU reset, vcpu_allowed_register_width() checks
if the vcpu's register width is consistent with all other vCPUs'.
Since the checking is done even against vCPUs that are not initialized
(KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT has not been done) yet, the uninitialized vCPUs
are erroneously treated as 64bit vCPU, which causes the function to
incorrectly detect a mixed-width VM.

This series will fix this problem by introducing a new VM flag that
indicates the guest needs to be configured with all 32bit or 64bit
vCPUs and checking vcpu's register width against the new flag at
the vcpu's KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT (instead of against other vCPUs'
register width).

Patch-1 introduces a new field 'flags' for kvm_arch (authored by Marc [1]).
The flags will replace a set of booleans for VM features.

Patch-2 introduces KVM_ARCH_FLAG_EL1_32BIT and
KVM_ARCH_FLAG_REG_WIDTH_CONFIGURED bits for kvm->arch.flags and
uses them to check vcpu's register width to fix the problem.

Patch-3 introduces a selftest that can test non-mixed-width vCPUs (all
64bit vCPUs or all 32bit vcPUs) can be configured, and mixed-width
vCPUs cannot be configured.

The series is based on v5.17-rc7.

v4:
  - Use different implementation of vcpu_el1_is_32bit() depending on
    the context. [Marc]
  - Rename kvm_register_width_check_or_init() to kvm_set_vm_width(), and
    call it from kvm_rest_vcpu() instead of from kvm_vcpu_set_target()
  - Remove vcpu_allowed_register_width(), and does the same checking
    in kvm_set_vm_width() instead.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/
  - Introduced 'flags' to kvm_arch, and use bits of the flags for
    a set of booleans for VM feature.
  - Changed 'el1_reg_width' to two bits of 'flags' of kvm_arch.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/
  - Introduced 'el1_reg_width' for kvm_arch and use it to check vcpu's
    register width against the flag at the vcpu's KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
