[RFC PATCH 1/3] efi/arm64: add SIMD stash/unstash operations

This adds the SIMD stash/unstash operations that we need to allow UEFI
runtime services calls to call back into the kernel.

The UEFI bindings for arm64 stipulate that the ordinary AAPCS rules apply,
which means that code may use FP/NEON registers, and may also expect that
the values of the callee saved registers q8 - q15 are preserved across
function calls.
