This series provides initial support for the ARMv9 Scalable Matrix
Extension (SME).  SME takes the approach used for vectors in SVE and
extends this to provide architectural support for matrix operations.  A
more detailed overview can be found in [1].

For the kernel SME can be thought of as a series of features which are
intended to be used together by applications but operate mostly
orthogonally:

 - The ZA matrix register.
 - Streaming mode, in which ZA can be accessed and a subset of SVE
   features are available.
 - A second vector length, used for streaming mode SVE and ZA and
   controlled using a similar interface to that for SVE.
 - TPIDR2, a new userspace controllable system register intended for use
   by the C library for storing context related to the ZA ABI.

A substantial part of the series is dedicated to refactoring the
existing SVE support so that we don't need to duplicate code for
handling vector lengths and the SVE registers, this involves creating an
array of vector types and making the users take the vector type as a
parameter.  I'm not 100% happy with this but wasn't able to come up with
anything better, duplicating code definitely felt like a bad idea so
this felt like the least bad thing.  If this approach makes sense to
people it might make sense to split this off into a separate series
and/or merge it while the rest is pending review to try to make things a
little more digestable, the series is very large so it'd probably make
things easier to digest if some of the preparatory refactoring could be
merged before the rest is ready.

One feature of the architecture of particular note is that switching
to and from streaming mode may change the size of and invalidate the
contents of the SVE registers, and when in streaming mode the FFR is not
accessible.  This complicates aspects of the ABI like signal handling
and ptrace.

This initial implementation is mainly intended to get the ABI in place,
there are several areas which will be worked on going forwards - some of
these will be blockers, others could be handled in followup serieses:

 - KVM is not currently supported and we depend on !KVM, in hopefully
   the next version I will add support for coexisting with KVM and then
   in a subsequent series implement real support for KVM guests.
 - It is likely some build configurations have issues, I've not fully
   checked this yet.  In general testing is still ongoing, I anticipate
   finding and fixing some issues in the implementation.
 - No support is currently provided for scheduler control of SME or SME
   applications, given the size of the SME register state the context
   switch overhead may be noticable so this may be needed especially for
   real time applications.  Similar concerns already exist for larger
   SVE vector lengths but are amplified for SME, particularly as the
   vector length increases.
 - There has been no work on optimising the performance of anything the
   kernel does.

It is not expected that any systems will be encountered that support SME
but not SVE, SME is an ARMv9 feature and SVE is mandatory for ARMv9.
The code attempts to handle any such systems that are encountered but
this hasn't been tested extensively.

Due to dependencies on kselftest changes already upstreamed this series
is based on for-next/kselftest in the arm64 tree.
