Bisecting to this patch is a bit weird because at this point
in the series emulation of FEAT_NV2 should be disabled and
the code being added should never be used. You could put
an assert(0) into the code in translate-a64.c before the
call to syn_data_abort_vncr() and in arm_deliver_fault()
assert(!is_vncr) to confirm that we're not somehow getting
into this code for some non-FEAT_NV2 situation, I guess.
