Revert "arm: Allow system registers for KVM guests to be changed by Q…

…EMU code"

This reverts commit 823e1b3,
which introduces a regression running EDK2 guest firmware
under KVM:

with
[ 3507.926571] kvm [35042]: load/store instruction decoding not implemented
in the host dmesg.

Revert the change for the moment until we can investigate the
cause of the regression.
