Some system registers do not affect the host kernel's execution and can
therefore be loaded when we are about to run a VCPU and we don't have to
restore the host state to the hardware before the time when we are
actually about to return to userspace or schedule out the VCPU thread.
The EL1 system registers and the userspace state registers only
affecting EL0 execution do not need to be saved and restored on every
switch between the VM and the host, because they don't affect the host
kernel's execution.
We mark all registers which are now deffered as such in the
vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg accessors in sys-regs.c to ensure the most
up-to-date copy is always accessed.
Note MPIDR_EL1 (controlled via VMPIDR_EL2) is accessed from other vcpu
threads, for example via the GIC emulation, and therefore must be
declared as immediate, which is fine as the guest cannot modify this
value.
The 32-bit sysregs can also be deferred but we do this in a separate
patch as it requires a bit more infrastructure.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
