While the secure definitions seem correct, what is the rationale
behind their presence here? They cannot be trapped from non-secure,
and the pseudocode is pretty explicit:
if !IsCurrentSecurityState(SS_Secure) then
UNDEFINED;
Given that, they cannot be trapped, handled or accessed from a KVM
guest, as Linux on arm64 *always* runs non-secure.
