A significant part of what a NV hypervisor needs to do is to decide whether a trap from a L2+ guest has to be forwarded to a L1 guest or handled locally. This is done by checking for the trap bits that the guest hypervisor has set and acting accordingly, as described by the architecture. A previous approach was to sprinkle a bunch of checks in all the system register accessors, but this is pretty error prone and doesn't help getting an overview of what is happening. Instead, implement a set of global tables that describe a trap bit, combinations of trap bits, behaviours on trap, and what bits must be evaluated on a system register trap. Although this is painful to describe, this allows to specify each and every control bit in a static manner. To make it efficient, the table is inserted in an xarray that is global to the system, and checked each time we trap a system register while running a L2 guest. Add the basic infrastructure for now, while additional patches will implement configuration registers.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
