Currently we access the system registers array via the vcpu_sys_reg()
macro. However, we are about to change the behavior to some times
modify the register file directly, so let's change this to two
primitives:
* Accessor macros vcpu_write_sys_reg() and vcpu_read_sys_reg()
* Direct array access macro __vcpu_sys_reg()
The first primitive should be used in places where the code needs to
access the currently loaded VCPU's state as observed by the guest. For
example, when trapping on cache related registers, a write to a system
register should go directly to the VCPU version of the register.
The second primitive can be used in places where the VCPU is known to
"second primitive" is a bit confusing here. I count 3 primitives above:
(vcpu_write_sys_reg(), vcpu_read_sys_reg() and __vcpu_sys_reg(). From
the description, I would say to refer to the latter (i.e third one).
never be running (for example userspace access) or for registers which
are never context switched (for example all the PMU system registers).
This rewrites all users of vcpu_sys_regs to one of the two primitives
above.
No functional change.
