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.
This patchset also complement with Marc's patchset v2[1] for handling LS64* trapped if not advertised for a VM.
