Description

The ability to xref system registers would be a useful feature addition.

For example: if I have msr vbar_el3, x0, the ability to select vbar_el3 and hit 'x', then see all other use sites.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing public API, examples, and documentation for cross-reference behavior and system-register handling. Use the issue's msr vbar_el3, x0 example to define the expected interaction: selecting vbar_el3 and pressing x should reveal all other use sites. No specific source file or test is identified in the issue, so the relevant entry point and validation coverage will need to be located first.
