I guess we could also return a string like,

"KVM_REG_RISCV_CONFIG_REG(##) /* UNKNOWN */"

as that would still compile and also convey the message that this
register doesn't have a name because the test doesn't know it yet.

Ok, I've pushed patches to [1]. This series introduces two things to KVM
selftests. Primarily it splits the aarch64/get-reg-list test into a
cross-arch get-reg-list test and an $ARCH_DIR/get-reg-list.o object file,
which the cross-arch test depends on. To do that, it also introduces the
concept of a "split test", a test that has a cross-arch part which depends
on an arch-specific part. Using a split test is cleaner than the
#ifdeffery we usually do for cross-arch tests.

I've added kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Marc, Oliver, and Sean to the CC of
this message. You'll want to add them when you post v2 as well.
