[PATCH v2 0/2] arm64: Support Enhanced PAN

Hi

ARM architecture gains support of Enhanced Privileged Access Never
(EPAN) which allows Privileged Access Never to be used with
Execute-only mappings.

As a consequence 24cecc377463 ("arm64: Revert support for execute-only
user mappings") can be revisited and re-enabled.

Changelog:

	RFC -> v1
	    - removed cap check in pte_valid_not_user (per Catalin)
	    - local_flush_tlb_all() in cpu_enable_epan() (per Catalin)
	    - reordered with CnP (per Catalin)
	    - s/HWCAP2_EPAN/HWCAP2_EXECONLY/ (per Catalin)

	v1 -> v2
	    - rebased on for-next/uaccess (for INIT_SCTLR_EL1_MMU_ON)
	    - moved EPAN enable to proc.S (via INIT_SCTLR_EL1_MMU_ON),
	      so no need in enable method from cpufeature, no need to
	      keep ordering relative to CnP (per Catalin)

Thanks!
