Bug description:
[Impact]
Guests could access host debug/PMU registers. This could happen very briefly
before they are first preempted.
This only affects arm64 CPUs that support virtualization.
[Regression potential]
This could break virtualization or guest access to PMU registers.
[Test case]
A guest has been run with a host with the patched kernel. perf top has been
run on the guest. Using uvtool:
host$ sudo apt install uvtool qemu-efi-aarch64
host$ uvt-kvm create test release=eoan arch=arm64
host$ uvt-kvm ssh test
guest$ sudo perf top
