A KVM-unit-tests and KVM selftests update for aarch64
summary
Status update on KVM unit and self tests for aarch64 with concrete changes: integration of KVM CFTest framework into the unit-test flow, new guest-space checks that exercise timers, PMU and interrupt-controller behavior, and plumbing to run many cases without real hardware using QEMU system models. Adds utilities to exercise nested virtualization and live migration paths and pushes more tests into both user-space and guest-space tests so bugs are reproducible earlier.
