[RFC 0/8] arm64/hw_breakpoint: Enable FEAT_Debugv8p9

This series enables FEAT_Debugv8p9 thus extending breakpoint and watchpoint
support upto 64. This has been lightly tested and still work is in progress
but would like to get some early feedback on the approach.

Possible impact of context switches while tracing kernel addresses needs to
be evaluated regarding MDSELR_EL1 access. This series is based on v6.9-rc2.
