If it is firmware first solution, that is SCR_EL3.EA=1, all SError interrupt 
and synchronous External
Abort exceptions are taken to EL3, so EL3 firmware will handle it, KVM no needs 
to handle it.

HCR_EL3.TEA is only for EL3 to check its value to decide to jump to hypervisor 
or kernel.

Today I added the support to do some minimal emulation for RAS-Error-Record 
registers, thanks
for the good suggestion.
