VNCR-backed "registers" are actually only memory. Which means that there is zero control over what the guest can write, and that it is the hypervisor's job to actually sanitise the content of the backing store. Yeah, this is fun. In order to preserve some form of sanity, add a repainting mechanism that makes use of a per-VM set of RES0/RES1 masks, one pair per VNCR register. These masks get applied on access to the backing store via __vcpu_sys_reg(), ensuring that the state that is consumed by KVM is correct. So far, nothing populates these masks, but stay tuned.

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.
