Calling kvm_arch_init_vcpu() will end up doing more
work than we really need, because it will end up filling
in the cpreg tuple list [code not yet present for 64 bit
but you can see from the 32 bit kvm_arch_init_vcpu()
what it will look like]. So we should have a QEMU function
for doing the vcpu init.

I think I would suggest adding a uint32_t kvm_target_features
to ARMCPU (under kvm_target). Then kvm_arch_init_vcpu and
kvm_arch_reset_vcpu can both call a small function which
does

int kvm_arm_reinit_vcpu(CPUState *cs)
{
    struct kvm_vcpu_init init;

    init.target = cpu->kvm_target;
    memset(init.features, 0, sizeof(init.features));
    init.features[0] = cpu->kvm_target_features;
    return kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cs, KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, &init);
}

(put that in target-arm/kvm.c, prototype in target-arm/kvm_arm.h,
needs a proper doc comment in the .h file.)
