This patch adds an infrastructure to keep track of the CPU feature
registers on the system. For each register, the infrastructure keeps
track of the system wide safe value of the feature bits. Also, tracks
the which fields of a register should be matched strictly across all
the CPUs on the system for the SANITY check infrastructure.
The feature bits are classified into following 3 types depending on
the implication of the possible values. This information is used to
decide the safe value for a feature.
LOWER_SAFE - The smaller value is safer
HIGHER_SAFE - The bigger value is safer
EXACT - We can't decide between the two, so a predefined safe_value is used.
This infrastructure will be later used to make better decisions for:
- Kernel features (e.g, KVM, Debug)
- SANITY Check
- CPU capability
- ELF HWCAP
- Exposing CPU Feature register to userspace.

Move the mixed endian support detection code to cpufeature.c
from cpuinfo.c. This also moves the update_cpu_features()
used by mixed endian detection code, which will get more
functionality.
Also moves the ID register field shifts to asm/sysreg.h,
where all the useful definitions will end up in later patches.

'Privileged Access Never' is a new arm8.1 feature which prevents
privileged code from accessing any virtual address where read or write
access is also permitted at EL0.
This patch enables the PAN feature on all CPUs, and modifies {get,put}_user
helpers temporarily to permit access.
This will catch kernel bugs where user memory is accessed directly.
'Unprivileged loads and stores' using ldtrb et al are unaffected by PAN.

The system register encoding generated by sys_reg() works only
for MRS/MSR(Register) operations, as we hardcode Bit20 to 1 in
mrs_s/msr_s mask. This makes it unusable for generating instructions
accessing registers with Op0 < 2(e.g, PSTATE.x with Op0=0).
As per ARMv8 ARM, (Ref: ARMv8 ARM, Section: "System instruction class
encoding overview", C5.2, version:ARM DDI 0487A.f), the instruction
encoding reserves bits [20-19] for Op0.
This patch generalises the sys_reg, mrs_s and msr_s macros, so that
we could use them to access any of the supported system register.

Later patches need config_sctlr_el1 to set/clear bits in the sctlr_el1
register.

GICv3 introduces new system registers accessible with the full msr/mrs
syntax (e.g. mrs x0, Sop0_op1_CRm_CRn_op2). However, only recent
binutils understand the new syntax. This patch introduces msr_s/mrs_s
assembly macros which generate the equivalent instructions above and
converts the existing GICv3 code (both drivers/irqchip/ and
arch/arm64/kernel/).
