[PATCH v5 0/6] Legacy instruction emulation for arm64

[Punit Agrawal]

Hi,

This is the fifth posting of the legacy instruction support for
arm64. Previous postings can be found at [1][2][3][4].

This version addresses all the feedback received so far.

Changes since previous posting:
* Split out legacy instructions framework into a separate patch 3/6.
* Simplified the error checking for undefined abort hooks
registration.
* Revert to previous mode when setting up hardware execution fails.
* Dropped duplicate information in trace that was already being
captured by the framework. 

Cheers,
Punit

Changes since [3]:
* Shortened function name aarch32_insn_is_wide_instruction ->
aarch32_insn_is_wide
* Removed unnecessary addprefix
* Changed default suggestion from 'N' to 'Y'
* Allow deprecated instructions to potentially only implement
emulation or hardware execution - should help when certain
instructions are difficult to emulate.
* Disable CP15 barriers when hot-unplugging the CPUs
* Added assembler comment to trace the equivalent barrier when CP15
Barriers are used.

Changes since [2]:
* Made trace point local to arm64
* Re-factored infrastructure to handle registration / un-registration
of undefined hooks as well as handle enabling hardware execution when
supported
* Added documentation for default execution modes and how to change it
via sysctl

Changes since [1]:
* Added support for Thumb instructions when registering undefined
hooks as well
* Emulation support is now added to armv8_deprecated.c (was previously
v7_obsolete.c)
* Instruction support level - Off, Emulate or Enable (when supported
in hardware) - is now controlled through sysctl
* Using trace points instead of debugfs for stats reporting
