Please add support for the HDFGxTR2_EL2 registers in the trap routing
arrays, add support for the corresponding FGUs in the corresponding
structure, and condition the UNDEF on the lack of *guest* support for
the feature.

In short, implement the architecture as described in the pseudocode,
and not a cheap shortcut.

Thanks,
