In order to be able to detect the point where the guest enables
its MMU and caches, trap all the VM related system registers.
Once we see the guest enabling both the MMU and the caches, we
can go back to a saner mode of operation, which is to leave these
registers in complete control of the guest.

This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.
As Cortex-A7 is architecturally compatible with A15, this patch is largely just
generalising existing code. Areas where 'implementation defined' behaviour
is identical for A7 and A15 is moved to allow it to be used by both cores.
The check to ensure that coprocessor register tables are sorted correctly is
also moved in to 'common' code to avoid each new cpu doing its own check
(and possibly forgetting to do so!)

KVM does not have a notion of multiple clusters for CPUs, just a linear
array of CPUs. When using a system with cores in more than one cluster, the
current method for calculating the virtual MPIDR will leak the (physical)
cluster information into the virtual MPIDR. One effect of this is that
Linux under KVM fails to boot multiple CPUs that aren't in the 0th cluster.
This patch does away with exposing the real MPIDR fields in favour of simply
using the virtual CPU number (but preserving the U bit, as before).

The PAR was exported as CRn == 7 and CRm == 0, but in fact the primary
coprocessor register number was determined by CRm for 64-bit coprocessor
registers as the user space API was modeled after the coprocessor
access instructions (see the ARM ARM rev. C - B3-1445).
However, just changing the CRn to CRm breaks the sorting check when
booting the kernel, because the internal kernel logic always treats CRn
as the primary register number, and it makes the table sorting
impossible to understand for humans.
Alternatively we could change the logic to always have CRn == CRm, but
that becomes unclear in the number of ways we do look up of a coprocessor
register. We could also have a separate 64-bit table but that feels
somewhat over-engineered. Instead, keep CRn the primary representation
of the primary coproc. register number in-kernel and always export the
primary number as CRm as per the existing user space ABI.
Note: The TTBR registers just magically worked because they happened to
follow the CRn(0) regs and were considered CRn(0) in the in-kernel
representation.

Adds a new important function in the main KVM/ARM code called
handle_exit() which is called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() on returns
from guest execution. This function examines the Hyp-Syndrome-Register
(HSR), which contains information telling KVM what caused the exit from
the guest.
Some of the reasons for an exit are CP15 accesses, which are
not allowed from the guest and this commit handles these exits by
emulating the intended operation in software and skipping the guest
instruction.
Minor notes about the coproc register reset:
1) We reserve a value of 0 as an invalid cp15 offset, to catch bugs in our
table, at cost of 4 bytes per vcpu.
2) Added comments on the table indicating how we handle each register, for
simplicity of understanding.
