Hi Marc,

Keeping empty structure as the vcpu state initializer is slightly
wasteful: we only want to set pstate, and zero everything else.
Just do that.

Be careful that we can *not* use 'sizeof(*cpu_reset)' here anymore.  As
you're going to refactor the layout of the core registers whilst keeping
the kvm_regs API unchanged.  Resetting the whole kvm_regs will go
corrupting some affected registers and make them temporarily invalid.
The bad thing will show up after you start moving ELR_EL1 around,
specifically in patch #20...

And the first victim is ... MPIDR_EL1 (the first one in sys_regs array).
Now you know how this was spotted ;-)  I think this should be the root
cause of what Zengtao had previously reported [*].

If these registers are all expected to be reset to architecturally
UNKNOWN values, I think we can just drop this memset(), though haven't
check with the ARM ARM carefully.


Thanks,
Zenghui
