KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Allow access to GICD_IIDR prior to initialization
KVM allows userspace to write GICD_IIDR for backwards-compatibility with older kernels, where new implementation revisions have new features. Unfortunately this is allowed to happen at runtime, and ripping features out from underneath a running guest is a terrible idea. While we can't do anything about the ABI, prepare for more ID-like registers by allowing access to GICD_IIDR prior to VGIC initialization. Hoist initializaiton of the default value to kvm_vgic_create() and discard the incorrect comment that assumed userspace could access the register before initialization (until now). Subsequent changes will allow the VMM to further provision the GIC feature set, e.g. the presence of nASSGIcap. Reviewed-by:Eric Auger <eric.auger@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:
