Add a handler for reading/writing the guest's view of the ICC_BPR1_EL1
register, which is located in the ICH_VMCR_EL2.BPR1 field.

This commit (and likely the followings) is coming from Linux, right? If it matches commit from Linux, then you need to keep tags and point to the Linux commit. See commit 7762c2d6f4 in Xen as an example to how to do it.

If you make changes for Xen, then write "Adapted for Xen...".
ok

But looking at the patch the major difference is you use Xen coding style. The rest is pretty much use Xen name for access register and adding missing define.

I think it would be beneficial for Xen to re-use Linux code. The compatibility layer should be very limited. Stefano any opinions?
So when you mean linux code, you refer to a patch or importing the code file from linux ?

Importing the code from Linux. And then a patch to adapt for Xen (it should be fairly small).

Cheers,
