On x86, ARM and s390, struct kvm_vcpu_arch has a usercopy region taht is read and written by the KVM_GET/SET_CPUID2 ioctls (x86) or KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG (ARM/s390). Without whitelisting the area, KVM is completely broken on those architectures with usercopy hardening enabled. For now, allow writing to the entire struct on all architectures. The KVM tree will not refine this to an architecture-specific subset of struct kvm_vcpu_arch.
