The IMPDEF sysreg L2CTLR_EL1 found on the Cortex-A35, A53, A57, A72
and which we (arguably dubiously) also provide in '-cpu max' has a
2 bit field for the number of processors in the cluster. On real
hardware this must be sufficient because it can only be configured
with up to 4 CPUs in the cluster. However on QEMU if the board code
does not explicitly configure the code into clusters with the right
CPU count we default to "give the value assuming that all CPUs in
the system are in a single cluster", which might be too big to fit
in the field.
Instead of just overflowing this 2-bit field, saturate to 3 (meaning
"4 CPUs", so at least we don't overwrite other fields in the register.
It's unlikely that any guest code really cares about the value in
this field; at least, if it does it probably also wants the system
to be more closely matching real hardware, i.e. not to have more
than 4 CPUs.
This issue has been present since the L2CTLR was first added in
commit 377a44ec8f back in 2014. It was only noticed because
Coverity complains (CID 1509227) that the shift might overflow 32 bits
and inadvertently sign extend into the top half of the 64 bit value.

The file cpu_tcg.c is about to be moved into the tcg/ directory, so
move the register definitions into a new file.
Also move the function declaration to the more appropriate cpregs.h.
