check_cpu_capabilities runs through a given list of caps and
checks if the system has the cap, updates the system capability
bitmap and also runs any enable() methods associated with them.
All of this is not quite obvious from the name 'check'. This
patch splits the check_cpu_capabilities into two parts :
1) update_cpu_capabilities
=> Runs through the given list and updates the system
wide capability map.
2) enable_cpu_capabilities
=> Runs through the given list and invokes enable() (if any)
for the caps enabled on the system.

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.

This patch moves the CPU feature detection code from
arch/arm64/kernel/{setup.c to cpufeature.c}
The plan is to consolidate all the CPU feature handling
in cpufeature.c.
Apart from changing pr_fmt from "alternatives" to "cpu features",
there are no functional changes.

As the firmware (or the hypervisor) may have disabled SRE access,
check that SRE can actually be enabled before declaring that we
do have that capability.

'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.

When a new cpu feature is available, the cpu feature bits will have some
initial value, which is incremented when the feature is updated.
This patch changes 'register_value' to be 'min_field_value', and checks
the feature bits value (interpreted as a signed int) is greater than this
minimum.

As we detect more architectural features at runtime, it makes
sense to reuse the existing framework whilst avoiding to call
a feature an erratum...
This patch extract the core capability parsing, moves it into
a new file (cpufeature.c), and let the CPU errata detection code
use it.
