When the KVM_ARM_VCPU_HAS_EL2 define was added, the value of
KVM_VCPU_MAX_FEATURES wasn't incremented, so that feature has never been
in the KVM_VCPU_VALID_FEATURES bit mask. This means the HAS_EL2 feature
will never be exposed to user space even if the system supports it.

I might be missing something, and it's possible that
KVM_ARM_VCPU_HAS_EL2 is deliberately not exposed yet. However I'm
working on v6 of the host CCA series and as part of that want to add a
new feature but and bump KVM_VCPU_MAX_FEATURES up to 9.

This is on purpose. I'm not planning to enable EL2 support until it is
ready.

Well, I guess that defines some ordering then! :D

I did suspect that's the case - but it might have been better to knobble
it in system_supported_vcpu_features()/kvm_vcpu_init_check_features()
rather than 'hiding' it in the MAX_FEATURES. But hindsight is a
wonderful thing ;)

Indeed - I'll try to remember to include note about this "dependency" in
my cover letter. We're likely to need a few more rounds for CCA to be
ready, so hopefully NV will naturally be there in time :D
Thanks,

Any minute now, according to those impersonating a French physicist...
