Subject: [PATCH 0/9] vITS Migration fixes and reset

This series fixes various bugs observed when saving/restoring the
ITS state before the guest writes the ITS registers (on first boot or
after reset/reboot).

This is a follow up of Wanghaibin's series [1] plus additional
patches following additional code review. It also proposes one
ITS reset implementation. I dared to include 2 Wanghaibin patches,
taking into account the discussions held on the ML but obviously
they can live separately.

On guest reset or when shutdown -r is initiated from guest, the ITS
caches are not saved into guest RAM. However currently the ITS is not
resettable, meaning the ITS will contain previously set values in
its registers. If we initiate a state backup before the guest
re-writes the ITS registers, we use the old register values to restore
the ITS tables. And since they may have never been written they
may contain invalid entries. This leads to inconsistencies detected
by the save/restore code and causes save/restore failure.

Patches [1-5] should be cc'ed stable I think:
- KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: fix return value for restore (Wanghaibin)
  happens on restore whenever the device or ITT tables contain
  only invalid data
- Always allow clearing GITS_CREADR/CWRITER
  On first boot, if GITS_CBASER queue size is 0 and if we save at
  this moment, restore fails on CREAD write.
- if GITS_BASER<n> point to invalid tables we currently return -EINVAL
  on state save. QEMU aborts on this error whereas it forgives -EFAULT
  as we considered we should not abort on guest bad programming.
- Then we should never attempt to use GITS_BASER<n> and GITS_CBASER
  if they are not valid. Patches 4 and 5 fix that.

Patches [6-9] implement a new ITS reset IOCTL
  - maybe patch "free caches when GITS_BASER Valid bit is cleared" can
    be omitted if we consider the caches should not be cleared when
    GITS_BASER<n>.Valid is cleared.

Best Regards

Eric

* Testing:
- on Cavium using a virtio-net-pci guest and various sequences of
  guest shutdown -r now, virsh reset, virsh suspend/resume,
  virsh reboot, virsh save.restore, virsh shutdown
