KVM: arm64: Pass PSCI calls to userspace
When the KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI_TO_USER capability is available, userspace can request to handle PSCI calls. SMCCC probe requires PSCI v1.x. If userspace only implements PSCI v0.2, the guest won't query SMCCC support through PSCI and won't use the spectre workarounds. We could hijack PSCI_VERSION and pretend to support v1.0 if userspace does not, then handle all v1.0 calls ourselves (including guessing the PSCI feature set implemented by the guest), but that seems unnecessary. After all the API already allows userspace to force a version lower than v1.0 using the firmware pseudo-registers. The KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION pseudo-register currently resets to either v0.1 if userspace doesn't set KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2, or KVM_ARM_PSCI_LATEST (1.0).
