This reverts commits 99101dda and
b80b701d.

Linus reports that the sysreg reserved bit checks in KVM have led to
build failures, arising from commit fdd867fe ("arm64/sysreg: Add
register fields for ID_AA64DFR1_EL1") giving meaning to fields that were
previously RES0.

Of course, this is a genuine issue, since KVM's sysreg emulation depends
heavily on the definition of reserved fields. But at this point the
build breakage is far more offensive, and the right course of action is
to revert and retry later.

All of these build-time assertions were on by default before
commit 99101dda ("KVM: arm64: Make build-time check of RES0/RES1
bits optional"), so deliberately revert it all atomically to avoid
introducing further breakage of bisection.

History
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.
