arm64/sve: Detect SVE and activate runtime support
This patch enables detection of hardware SVE support via the cpufeatures framework, and reports its presence to the kernel and userspace via the new ARM64_SVE cpucap and HWCAP_SVE hwcap respectively. Userspace can also detect SVE using ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, using the cpufeatures MRS emulation. When running on hardware that supports SVE, this enables runtime kernel support for SVE, and allows user tasks to execute SVE instructions and make of the of the SVE-specific user/kernel interface extensions implemented by this series.
