arm/arm64: KVM: Add KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS
For the migrating VMs, user space may need to know the exception
state. For example, in the machine A, KVM make an SError pending,
when migrate to B, KVM also needs to pend an SError.
This new IOCTL exports user-invisible states related to SError.
Together with appropriate user space changes, user space can get/set
the SError exception state to do migrate/snapshot/suspend.

- KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM may be set in the flags field to signal that
smi contains a valid state.
+ARM64:
+
+If the guest accesses a device that is being emulated by the host kernel in
+such a way that a real device would generate a physical SError, KVM may make
+a virtual SError pending for that VCPU. This system error interrupt remains
+pending until the guest takes the exception by unmasking PSTATE.A.
+
+Running the VCPU may cause it to take a pending SError, or make an access that
+causes an SError to become pending. The event's description is only valid while
+the VPCU is not running.
+
+This API provides a way to read and write the pending 'event' state that is not
+visible to the guest. To save, restore or migrate a VCPU the struct representing
+the state can be read then written using this GET/SET API, along with the other
+guest-visible registers. It is not possible to 'cancel' an SError that has been
+made pending.
+
+A device being emulated in user-space may also wish to generate an SError. To do
+this the events structure can be populated by user-space. The current state
+should be read first, to ensure no existing SError is pending. If an existing
+SError is pending, the architecture's 'Multiple SError interrupts' rules should
+be followed. (2.5.3 of DDI0587.a "ARM Reliability, Availability, and
+Serviceability (RAS) Specification").
