Do you really want to call these functions "kvm_arch.." although they are not
defined for other arch and not triggered by common code?

kvm_setup ... or kvm_arm_setup...

I'd put that into a single assignment.

Wonder if that would be the right place to clear MDCR_EL2_TDA unconditionally?
But see my comment below.

The existing code always cleared all bits except MDCR_EL2_HPMN_MASK. So they
remained set.

We would now always overwrite these bits with the values from 
vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2, is that okay?
