arm64: KVM: Add support for Stage-2 control of memory types and cache…
…ability Up to ARMv8.3, the combinaison of Stage-1 and Stage-2 attributes results in the strongest attribute of the two stages. This means that the hypervisor has to perform quite a lot of cache maintenance just in case the guest has some non-cacheable mappings around. ARMv8.4 solves this problem by offering a different mode (FWB) where Stage-2 has total control over the memory attribute (this is limited to systems where both I/O and instruction fetches are coherent with the dcache). This is achieved by having a different set of memory attributes in the page tables, and a new bit set in HCR_EL2. On such a system, we can then safely sidestep any form of dcache management.
