[PATCH v2 0/4] arm64: Support of PAuth QARMA3 architected algorithm

QARMA3 is relaxed version of the QARMA5 algorithm which expected to
reduce the latency of calculation while still delivering a suitable
level of security.

Feature advertised via a new ID fields in ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 [1], so we
need to teach the kernel to identify this.

Changelog:

  v1 -> v2
     - Removed unintended whitespace change in sysreg.h
     - FTR_ALIAS_OPTION_LEN now accounts null terminator
     - Extract only APA3 bits from ID_AA64ISAR2_APA3_SHIFT (in
       contrast to id_aa64isar1_el1 where both APA and API bits
       are extracted) in asm_pointer_auth.h

Thanks!
