I don't really understand what this patch does from the commit message.

>>From looking at the code, is trying to cater for the case where the
guest hypervisor configures the virtual hardware to trap on memory
control register accesses (for example during VM boot to solve the cache
issues) and we correspondingly set the VM control register trap bits,
and when actually handling the trap we need to take special care in the
VHE guest hypervisor case, because we'll have to redirect the register
access to the vitual EL2 registers instead of the virtual EL1 registers?
