[PATCH v2 00/11] perf: arm_spe: Armv8.8 SPE features

Support 3 new SPE features: FEAT_SPEv1p4 filters, FEAT_SPE_EFT extended
filtering, and SPE_FEAT_FDS data source filtering. The features are
independent can be applied separately:

  * Prerequisite sysreg changes - patches 1 - 2
  * FEAT_SPEv1p4 - patch 3
  * FEAT_SPE_EFT - patch 4
  * FEAT_SPE_FDS - patches 5 - 8
  * FEAT_SPE_FDS Perf tool changes - patches 9 - 11

The first two features will work with old Perfs but a Perf change to
parse the new config4 is required for the last feature.

Changes in v2:
- Fix detection of FEAT_SPE_FDS in el2_setup.h
- Pickup Marc Z's sysreg change instead which matches the json
- Restructure and expand docs changes
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250506-james-perf-feat_spe_eft-v1-0-dd480e8e4851@linaro.org
