This series adds ARMv8.3/8.4 nested virtualization support in KVM mode.
To enable nested virtualization for a guest, the host must expose EL2
support via QEMU command line switches:
-machine virt,accel=kvm,virtualization=on
Inspired on Haibo Xu's previous work [0][1], Marc Zyngier's kvmtool branch [2]
and kernel patches [3] on nested virtualization for aarch64, this has been
tested on an Ampere implementation.
This series adapts previous work on top of v7.2.0, it considers comments given
at the time and preserves authorship of the original patches.
