[PATCH 0/3] arm64: Support FEAT_LSFE (Large System Float Extension)

FEAT_LSFE is optional from v9.5, it adds new instructions for atomic
memory operations with floating point values.  We have no immediate use
for it in kernel, provide a hwcap so userspace can discover it and allow
the ID register field to be exposed to KVM guests.
