A significant part of what a NV hypervisor needs to do is to decide
whether a trap from a L2+ guest has to be forwarded to a L1 guest
or handled locally. This is done by checking for the trap bits that
the guest hypervisor has set and acting accordingly, as described by
the architecture.
A previous approach was to sprinkle a bunch of checks in all the
system register accessors, but this is pretty error prone and doesn't
help getting an overview of what is happening.
Instead, implement a set of global tables that describe a trap bit,
combinations of trap bits, behaviours on trap, and what bits must
be evaluated on a system register trap.
Although this is painful to describe, this allows to specify each
and every control bit in a static manner. To make it efficient,
the table is inserted in an xarray that is global to the system,
and checked each time we trap a system register while running
a L2 guest.
Add the basic infrastructure for now, while additional patches will
implement configuration registers.
