MMIO emulation for a realm cannot be done directly with the VM's
registers as they are protected from the host. However, for emulatable
data aborts, the RMM uses GPRS[0] to provide the read/written value.
We can transfer this from/to the equivalent VCPU's register entry and
then depend on the generic MMIO handling code in KVM.

For a MMIO read, the value is placed in the shared RecExit structure
during kvm_handle_mmio_return() rather than in the VCPU's register
entry.
