This series adds supports for nested virtualisation when using HVF on arm64 Macs.

It has three parts:
- Apple vGICv3 support and necessary infrastructure changes for it
- support for MSI interrupts in GICv3 + GICv2m configurations, which is independent
from Apple platforms and can be merged independently.
- Nested virtualisation support. Note that the nested virtualisation implementation
shipping as of macOS 26.0 is nVHE only, and does not leverage VNCR (FEAT_NV1-style).

Known issues:
- when nested virt is enabled, no UI response within EDK2
and a permanent wait. Workaround: -boot menu=on,splash-time=0. Interrupts do
work later on in Linux.
- This series doesn't contain EL2 physical timer emulation, which is
needed if not leveraging the Apple vGIC.

To do:
- Switching ITS to off by default when using HVF w/ vGIC or WHPX (will probably do when both the series are merged)
- After that, perhaps exit if ITS is explicitly enabled.

PS: I can step up to maintain HVF support if needed.

v1->v2:
Oops. I did a mistake when preparing my patches.

- Add hvf_arm_el2_enable(_) call to virt_set_virt
- Fix nested virt support check to add HVF

v2->v3:
- LORC_EL1 patch was merged separately, remove from this series.
- fix LPIs when kernel-irqchip disabled and using TCG
- remove spurious if case in vGIC supported version detection (inapplicable now)
- Add hvf_enabled() check in combination with hvf kernel-irqchip checks
- cleanly fail on attempt to use the platform vGIC together with ITS

v3->v4:
- GIC state save improvements, including saving the opaque Apple-specific state
- Saving HVF system register state when using the vGIC and/or EL2

v5:
- oops, fixed up save/restore to be functional
- misc changes otherwise

v6:
- Addressing review comments
