[v4 0/4] arm64: kvm: reset hyp context for kexec

From: AKASHI Takahiro

This patch set addresses KVM issue described in Geoff's kexec patch set[1].
See "Changes" below.
Initially, I used reboot notifier hook to shut down cpu cores, but in this
version, kvm cpu hotplug is implemented after Mark's comment.

I confirmed that it works with kexec under the following scenarios:
- boot 1st kernel
- run a guest OS
- (stop a guest OS)
- reboot 2nd kernel by kexec
- run a guest OS

test target: MediaTek MT8173-EVB
version: kernel v4.0-rc1 + Geoff's kexec v8 + Arn's patch[2]

But I didn't test other complicated scenarios with cpu hotplug.

On arm, Frediano[3] is no longer working on this issue as he left his
company. patch#4 is just a stub for arm.

Changes from v3:
* modified to use kvm cpu hotplug framework directly instead of reboot
notifier hook

Changes from v2:
* modified kvm_virt_to_trampoline() macro to fix a page-alignment issue[4]

Changes from v1:
* modified kvm_cpu_reset() implementation:
- define a macro to translate va to addr in trampoline
- use __hyp_default_vectors instead of kvm_get_hyp_stub_vectors()
- shuffle the arguments in __cpu_reset_hyp_mode()
- optimize TLB flush operations
* changed a patch#2's name
* added a patch#5 to add stub code for arm
