[PATCH 0/7] KVM: arm64: Add support for FP8

Although FP8 support was merged in 6.9, the KVM side was dropped, with
no sign of it being picked up again. Given that its absence is getting
in the way of NV upstreaming (HCRX_EL2 needs fleshing out), here's a
small series addressing it.

The support is following the save/restore model established for the
rest of the FP code, with FPMR being tied to it. The sole additions
are the handling of traps in a nested context, and the corresponding
ID registers being made writable. As an extra cleanup, SVCR and FPMR
are moved into the sysreg array.

Patches are on top of kvmarm/next, as this would otherwise majorly
conflict. Note that this is compile-tested only, as I have no access
to FP8 HW or model (and running NV in a model is not something I wish
to entertain ever again).

Also, this is *not* 6.11 material. 6.12 if we're lucky.
