[PATCH v3 0/6] Add some validation for vector, vector crypto and fp stuff

Yo,

This series is partly leveraging Clement's work adding a validate
callback in the extension detection code so that things like checking
for whether a vector crypto extension is usable can be done like:
	has_extension(<vector crypto>)
rather than
	has_vector() && has_extension(<vector crypto>)
which Eric pointed out was a poor design some months ago.

The rest of this is adding some requirements to the bindings that
prevent combinations of extensions disallowed by the ISA.

There's a bunch of over-long lines in here, but I thought that the
over-long lines were clearer than breaking them up.

Cheers,
Conor.

v3:
- rebase on v6.14-rc1
- split vector crypto validation patch into vector validation and vector
  crypto validation
- fix zve64x requiring extension list to match Eric's PR

v2:
- Fix an inverted clause Clément pointed out
- Add Zvbb validation, that I had missed accidentally
- Drop the todo about checking the number of validation rounds,
  I tried in w/ qemu's max cpu and things looked right
