      arm64: KVM: Use static keys for selecting the GIC backend · 5a7a8426
      Vladimir Murzin authored
      Currently GIC backend is selected via alternative framework and this
      is fine. We are going to introduce vgic-v3 to 32-bit world and there
      we don't have patching framework in hand, so we can either check
      support for GICv3 every time we need to choose which backend to use or
      try to optimise it by using static keys. The later looks quite
      promising because we can share logic involved in selecting GIC backend
      between architectures if both uses static keys.
      
      This patch moves arm64 from alternative to static keys framework for
      selecting GIC backend. For that we embed static key into vgic_global
      and enable the key during vgic initialisation based on what has
      already been exposed by the host GIC driver.
