Re: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: add esr_el2 and far_el2 to sysreg

Hi Marc,
As James's suggestion, I move injection SEA Error logic to the user space(Qemu), Qemu sets the related guest OS esr/elr/pstate/spsr
through IOCTL KVM_SET_ONE_REG. For the SEA, when Qemu sets the esr_el1.IL bit, it needs to refer to esr_el2.IL, else Qemu does not know the trapped
instruction was a 16-bit or a 32-bit instruction, also it needs to set far_el1 using far_el2, because this is synchronization abort.
