[v2,02/12] KVM: arm64: nv: Sync nested timer state with FEAT_NV2

Commit Message

Marc Zyngier Dec. 17, 2024, 2:23 p.m. UTC

Emulating the timers with FEAT_NV2 is a bit odd, as the timers
can be reconfigured behind our back without the hypervisor even
noticing. In the VHE case, that's an actual regression in the
architecture...
