We keep an entry for the PMSWINC_EL0 register in the vcpu structure, while *never* writing anything there outside of reset. Given that the register is defined as write-only, that we always trap when this register is accessed, there is little point in saving anything anyway. Get rid of the entry, and save a mighty 8 bytes per vcpu structure. We still need to keep it exposed to userspace in order to preserve backward compatibility with previously saved VMs. Since userspace cannot expect any effect of writing to PMSWINC_EL0, treat the register as RAZ/WI for the purpose of userspace access.

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 Restructured Text 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.
