Subject: [PATCH 0/1] KVM: arm64: Affinity level 3 support

Hi everyone,

By supporting Aff3, we not only allow broader usage, but also get the
chance to fix the issue pointed out by Saurav [1]. The current code
returns 0s for GICR_TYPER[63:56], causing guests to fail when its VCPUs
tries to find a matching redistributor, when the VMM programs non-zero
values for VCPUs' MPIDR_EL1.Aff3.

For testing, both 64-bit (with ICH_VTR_EL2.A3V == 1) and 32-bit guests
are ran using QEMU, Aff3 usage is emulated by modifying reset_mpidr to
write non-zero test values to MPIDR_EL1.Aff3 when Aff3 is valid, and
populating the Aff3 field of kvm_sys_reg_set_user's user given value
if r->reg == MPIDR_EL1.
The 64-bit case is checked to have MPIDR_EL1.Aff3 populated and both
64-bit and 32-bit guests seem to work with interrupts being delivered
properly.

Note: I checked with Saurav to make sure he isn't planning on working on
this as well. Also thanks for the maintainers for giving directions for
improvements in [1].
