Fix isssue with 32bit guests running on top of BE KVM host. Guest
state is retored with double word read operations. Within the high
and low word data is already byteswap. This code effectively swaps
two words within 64bit value.

restored (spell check should catch this).

"Guest state is restored with double word read operations."  I don't
know what this sentence is supposed to tell me.

"data is already byteswap" is not English.  data is already byteswapped?

I really don't like this. If anything I feel like it should be
abstracted inside vcpu_cp15, but wouldn't it be cleaner to do something
along the lines of:

u64 *regstore = (u64 *)vcpu->arch.ctxt.cp15[r->reg];
if (p->is_32bit)
	val &= 0xffffffffUL;
*regstore = val;

But I think the thing that bothers me in general with all these patches
is that they deal specially with a lot of situations where the data
structure was designed specifically to make the code easy to read, and
now it just becomes a really complicated mess.  Have you carefully
considered other options, redesigning the data structure layout etc.?
