Armv8.7 introduces single-copy atomic 64-byte loads and stores
instructions and its variants named under FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V,
LS64_ACCDATA}. Add support for Armv8.7 FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V, LS64_ACCDATA}:
- Add identifying and enabling in the cpufeature list
- Expose the support of these features to userspace through HWCAP3
  and cpuinfo
- Add related hwcap test
- Handle the trap of unsupported memory (normal/uncacheable) access in a VM

A real scenario for this feature is that the userspace driver can make use of
this to implement direct WQE (workqueue entry) - a mechanism to fill WQE
directly into the hardware.

This patchset also depends on Marc's patchset[1] for enabling related
features in a VM, HCRX trap handling, etc.

Tested with updated hwcap test:
