This patch series is a followup to the armv7 fp/simd lazy switch
implementation, uses similar approach and depends on the series -

Patches are based on 4.3-rc2 commit 1f93e4a96c91093
Patches are based on earlier arm64 fp/simd optimization work -

And subsequent fixes by Marc and Christoffer at KVM Forum hackathon to handle
32-bit guest on 64 bit host -

The patch series have been tested on Foundation Model arm64/arm64 and
arm32/arm64. The test program used can be found here
https://github.com/mjsmar/arm-arm64-fpsimd-test
Launched upto 16 instances on 4-way Guest and another 16 on the host (both
cases 1mS sleep), ran overnight.
Changes v1->v2:
- Tested arm32/arm64
- rebased to 4.3-rc2
- changed a couple register accesses from 64 to 32 bit
