KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Trap and emulate ICC_IDR0_EL1 accesses

Browse source

Unless accesses to the ICC_IDR0_EL1 are trapped by KVM, the guest
reads the same state as the host. This isn't desirable as it limits
the migratability of VMs and means that KVM can't hide hardware
features such as FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY.

Trap and emulate accesses to the register, and present KVM's chosen ID
bits and Priority bits (which is 5, as GICv5 only supports 5 bits of
priority in the CPU interface). FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY is never presented to
the guest as it is only relevant for nested guests doing mixed GICv5
and GICv3 support.
