Hi Christoffer,

Some system registers do not affect the host kernel's execution and can
therefore be loaded when we are about to run a VCPU and we don't have to
restore the host state to the hardware before the time when we are
actually about to return to userspace or schedule out the VCPU thread.

The EL1 system registers and the userspace state registers only
affecting EL0 execution do not need to be saved and restored on every
switch between the VM and the host, because they don't affect the host
kernel's execution.

We mark all registers which are now deffered as such in the

NIT: s/deffered/deferred/ I think.

vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg accessors in sys-regs.c to ensure the most
up-to-date copy is always accessed.

Note MPIDR_EL1 (controlled via VMPIDR_EL2) is accessed from other vcpu
threads, for example via the GIC emulation, and therefore must be
declared as immediate, which is fine as the guest cannot modify this
value.

The 32-bit sysregs can also be deferred but we do this in a separate
patch as it requires a bit more infrastructure.

I find a bit confusing to have some EL0 registers in the middle of EL1 ones. Is it because they are listed by encoding?
