Because not all 256 CP0 registers are ever implemented, we need a
different method of manipulating them. Use the
KVM_GET_MSRS/KVM_SET_MSRS mechanism as x86 does for its MSRs.
Have you looked at KVM_(GET|SET)_ONE_REG interface (not used by x86, but is
used bu arm/ppc/s390). It looks like it is more suitable for your case.
Actually you can use it instead of KVM_(GET|SET)_REGS for all registers.
Yes, I suppose it could be used. One problem it has is that there is no
way to query the set of supported registers. Also you have to make
multiple calls to set multiple registers, which involves vcpu_{load,put}
for each register.
We will definitely implement it for all the FP and General Purpose
registers.
Code related to implementing KVM_GET_MSRS/KVM_SET_MSRS is consolidated
