Oliver and/or Marc, question for y'all towards the bottom.

/facepalm

The inner helper doesn't return the vCPU, and by dumb (bad) luck, selftests end
up trying to use fd=0.

I'll squash the above and force push.


In my defense, I would have caught this when build-testing, as the compiler does
warn...

  lib/aarch64/processor.c -o /usr/local/google/home/seanjc/go/src/kernel.org/nox/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/aarch64/processor.o
  lib/aarch64/processor.c: In function ‘__aarch64_vcpu_add’:
  lib/aarch64/processor.c:389:1: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]
    389 | }
        | ^
  At top level:
  cc1: note: unrecognized command-line option ‘-Wno-gnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end’ may have been intended to silence earlier diagnostics

but due to a different issue that is fixed in the kvm-arm tree[*], but not in mine,
I built without -Werror and didn't see the new warn in the sea of GUEST_PRINTF
warnings.

Ugh, and I still can't enable -Werror, because there are unused functions in
aarch64/vpmu_counter_access.c

  aarch64/vpmu_counter_access.c:96:20: error: unused function 'enable_counter' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]

  Commit 49f31cff9c533d264659356b90445023b04e10fb failed to build with 'make-clang make-arm make -j128'.

Oliver/Marc, any thoughts on how you want to fix the unused function warnings?
As evidenced by this goof, being able to compile with -Werror is super helpful.

And another question: is there any reason to not force -Werror for selftests?
