It doesn't really matter at that stage. The only thing I'm trying to
achieve in the middle of the series is not to break the build, and not
to cause non-NV to fail.

Indeed, this needs rewriting (we ended-up splitting the SPSR stuff out
as it was messy and not completely correct). I may take the rest of the
special stuff out as well.

That's pretty much immaterial, and the variable could be called zorglub.
Consistency is good, but I don't think we need to worry about that level
of detail.

Like all the translate_* function, this is only called when running a
non-VHE guest so that the EL2 register is translated to the EL1 format.
A VHE guest usually has its sysregs in the EL1 format, and certainly
does for TTBR0_EL2.

Rookie mistake! When HCR_EL2.E2h==1 (which is always the case for NV),
CNTKCTL_EL1 accesses CNTHCTL_EL2. What you have here is the translation
of non-VHE CNTHCTL_EL2 to its VHE equivalent.

I'm not sure what this buys us. We have 3 categories of EL2 sysregs:
- Purely emulated
- Directly mapped onto an EL1 sysreg
- Translated from EL2 to EL1

I think the wrappers represent that pretty well, although we could split
EL2_SYSREG into DIRECT_EL2_SYSREG and TRANSLATE_EL2_SYSREG. As for the
order, does it really matter? We also have the trap table order, which
is also different from the enum. Do you propose we reorder everything?

You don't necessarily access an EL2 register just because you run at
EL2. You also access it because you emulate an EL1 instruction whose
behaviour is conditioned by an EL2 register.
