arm64: vgic-v2: Fix proxying of cpuif access
Proxying the cpuif accesses at EL2 makes use of vcpu_data_guest_to_host and co, which check the endianness, which call into vcpu_read_sys_reg... which isn't mapped at EL2 (it was inlined before, and got moved OoL with the VHE optimizations). The result is of course a nice panic. Let's add some specialized cruft to keep the broken platforms that require this hack alive. But, this code used vcpu_data_guest_to_host(), which expected us to write the value to host memory, instead we have trapped the guest's read or write to an mmio-device, and are about to replay it using the host's readl()/writel() which also perform swabbing based on the host endianness. This goes wrong when both host and guest are big-endian, as readl()/writel() will undo the guest's swabbing, causing the big-endian value to be written to device-memory. What needs doing? A big-endian guest will have pre-swabbed data before storing, undo this. If its necessary for the host, writel() will re-swab it. For a read a big-endian guest expects to swab the data after the load. The hosts's readl() will correct for host endianness, giving us the device-memory's value in the register. For a big-endian guest, swab it as if we'd only done the load. For a little-endian guest, nothing needs doing as readl()/writel() leave the correct device-memory value in registers. Tested on Juno with that rarest of things: a big-endian 64K host. Based on a patch from Marc Zyngier.
