[Minios-devel] [UNIKRAFT PATCHv4 22/43] plat/kvm: Allow access to floating-point and Advanced SIMD registers

[Wei Chen <Wei.Chen@xxxxxxx>]

On Arm64, when we want to print out some message, the va_list will
use the SIMD&FP registers (like q0, q1) to store parameters. So, we
have to disable the trap of accessing floating-point and Advanced SIMD
registers to make va_list use SIMD&FP registers properly.
