We currently access ICC_SRE_EL2 at each load/put on VHE, and on each entry/exit on nVHE. Both are quite onerous on NV, as this register always traps. We do this to make sure the EL1 guest doesn't flip between v2 and v3 behind our back. But all modern implementations have dropped v2, and this is just overhead. At the same time, the GICv5 spec has been fixed to allow access to ICC_SRE_EL2 in legacy mode. Use this opportunity to replace the GICv5 checks for v2 compat checks, with an ad-hoc static key.

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 reStructuredText 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.
