Since Armv9.6, FEAT_LSUI supplies the load/store instructions for previleged level to access to access user memory without clearing PSTATE.PAN bit.
This patchset support FEAT_LSUI and applies in futex atomic operation and user_swpX emulation where can replace from ldxr/st{l}xr pair implmentation with clearing PSTATE.PAN bit to correspondant load/store unprevileged atomic operation without clearing PSTATE.PAN bit.
Patch Sequences ================
Patch #1 adds cpufeature for FEAT_LSUI
Patch #2-#3 expose FEAT_LSUI to guest
Patch #4 adds Kconfig for FEAT_LSUI
Patch #5-#6 support futex atomic-op with FEAT_LSUI
Patch #7-#9 support user_swpX emulation with FEAT_LSUI
