Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 02/20] KVM: x86: Refactor GPR accessors to differentiate register access types
Refactor the GPR accessors to introduce internal helpers to distinguish
between legacy and extended registers.
x86 CPUs introduce additional GPRs, but those registers will initially
remain unused in the kernel and will not be saved in KVM register cache
on every VM exit. Guest states are expected to remain live in hardware
registers.
This abstraction layer centralizes the selection of access methods,
providing a unified interface. For now, the EGPR accessors are
placeholders to be implemented later.
