[PATCH 18/23] plugins: add an API to read registers


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [PATCH 18/23] plugins: add an API to read registers
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 16:30:20 +0000

We can only request a list of registers once the vCPU has been
initialised so the user needs to use either call the get function on
vCPU initialisation or during the translation phase.

We don't expose the reg number to the plugin instead hiding it behind
an opaque handle. This allows for a bit of future proofing should the
internals need to be changed while also being hashed against the
CPUClass so we can handle different register sets per-vCPU in
hetrogenous situations.

Having an internal state within the plugins also allows us to expand
the interface in future (for example providing callbacks on register
change if the translator can track changes).

v4
  - the get/read_registers functions are now implicitly for current
  vCPU only to accidental cpu != current_cpu uses.
