No.
This has zero purpose being exposed to userspace. Userspace sees a VM
that runs at EL1, and nothing else, so exposing EL2 registers doesn't
make *any* sense.
If you want something to be exposed to userspace, it has to be properly
abstracted and describe something that is relevant to the VM. An EL2
register satisfies none of these conditions.

Also, what do you return here? All you're doing to return to userspace
is 0x1de7ec7edbadc0deULL (which perfectly matches this patch).
So for all intents and purposes, this patch is pretty useless.
Thanks,
