arm/arm64: KVM: Use set/way op trapping to track the state of the caches
Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff. Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore set/way operations. So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops, and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way, we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway). This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will probably help bootloaders in general.

+ * See note at ARMv7 ARM B1.14.4 (TL;DR: S/W ops are not easily virtualized).
+ *
+ * Main problems:
+ * - S/W ops are local to a CPU (not broadcast)
+ * - We have line migration behind our back (speculation)
+ * - System caches don't support S/W at all (damn!)
+ *
+ * In the face of the above, the best we can do is to try and convert
+ * S/W ops to VA ops. Because the guest is not allowed to infer the
+ * S/W to PA mapping, it can only use S/W to nuke the whole cache,
+ * which is a rather good thing for us.
+ *
+ * Also, it is only used when turning caches on/off ("The expected
+ * usage of the cache maintenance instructions that operate by set/way
+ * is associated with the cache maintenance instructions associated
+ * with the powerdown and powerup of caches, if this is required by
+ * the implementation.").
+ *
+ * We use the following policy:
+ *
+ * - If we trap a S/W operation, we enable VM trapping to detect
+ * caches being turned on/off, and do a full clean.
+ *
+ * - We flush the caches on both caches being turned on and off.
+ *
+ * - Once the caches are enabled, we stop trapping VM ops.
