[PATCH v2 07/25] arm64: cpufeature: Add a feature for FIQ support

Apple ARM SoCs (A11 and newer) have some interrupt sources hard-wired to
the FIQ line. Introduce a cpufeature that can be used to enable FIQ
handling via alternatives.

This is currently enabled for all Apple CPUs. If/when support is
implemented for older (pre-A11) iPhone/iPad SoCs which do not need FIQs,
or if newer SoCs are released without the FIQ requirement, we can
revisit the condition.
