Armv8.7 introduces single-copy atomic 64-byte loads and stores instructions and its variants named under FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}. Add support for Armv8.7 FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}: - Add identifying and enabling in the cpufeature list - Expose the support of these features to userspace through HWCAP3 and cpuinfo - Add related hwcap test - Handle the trap of unsupported memory (normal/uncacheable) access in a VM
A real scenario for this feature is that the userspace driver can make use of this to implement direct WQE (workqueue entry) - a mechanism to fill WQE directly into the hardware.
Picked Marc's 2 patches form [1] for handling the LS64 trap in a VM on emulated MMIO and the introduce of KVM_EXIT_ARM_LDST64B.

Change since v3: - Inject DABT fault for LS64 fault on unsupported memory but with valid memslot Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250626080906.64230-1-yangyicong@h...
Change since v2: - Handle the LS64 fault to userspace and allow userspace to inject LS64 fault - Reorder the patches to make KVM handling prior to feature support Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250331094320.35226-1-yangyicong@h...
Change since v1: - Drop the support for LS64_ACCDATA - handle the DABT of unsupported memory type after checking the memory attributes Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20241202135504.14252-1-yangyicong@h...
