I missed that last time, sorry.

Checked, and the only fields not touched by the change from struct kvm_cpu_context
are sys_regs and __hyp_running_cpu. __hyp_running_cpu is assumed to be NULL for a
guest and it doesn't change during the lifetime of a VCPU; it is set to NULL when
struct kvm_vcpu is allocated.
CNTVOFF_EL2 is not accessible to userspace (it's not in the sys_reg_descs and in
the invariant_sys_regs arrays), so it's not necessary to reset it in case
userspace changed it. Same for the other registers that are part of the VCPU
context, but are not in sys_reg_descs.
I think it's a good choice to skip zeroing the system registers. I compared
vcpu->arch.ctxt.sys_regs with sys_regs_descs, there were quite a few registers
that were part of the vcpu context (pointer authentication registers, virtual
timer registers, and others) and not part of sys_regs_descs. If someone adds a
register to the VCPU context, but not to sys_regs_descs, I think it would have
been easy to miss the fact that KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT zeroes it.
Hopefully I haven't missed anything:
