This allows the default (and maximum) vector length to be set
from the command-line. Which is extraordinarily helpful in
debugging problems depending on vector length without having to
bake knowledge of PR_SET_SVE_VL into every guest binary.

adf92eab90e3f5f34c285da6d14d48952b7a8e72 from qemu
There is no need to re-set these 9 features already
implied by the call to aarch64_a57_initfn.
Backports commit 156a7065365578deb3d63c2b5b69a4b5999a8fcc from qemu
We've already added the helpers with an SVE patch, all that remains
is to wire up the aa64 and aa32 translators. Enable the feature
within -cpu max for CONFIG_USER_ONLY.
Backports commit 26c470a7bb4233454137de1062341ad48947f252 from qemu
Now we have a working '-cpu max', the linux-user-only
'any' CPU is pretty much the same thing, so implement it
that way.
For the moment we don't add any of the extra feature bits
to the system-emulation "max", because we don't set the
ID register bits we would need to to advertise those
features as present.
Backports commit a0032cc5427d0d396aa0a9383ad9980533448ea4 from qemu
Add support for "-cpu max" for ARM guests. This CPU type behaves
like "-cpu host" when KVM is enabled, and like a system CPU with
the maximum possible feature set otherwise. (Note that this means
it won't be migratable across versions, as we will likely add
features to it in future.)
Backports commit bab52d4bba3f22921a690a887b4bd0342f2754cd from qemu
The cortex A53 TRM specifies that bits 24 and 25 of the L2CTLR register
specify the number of cores in the processor, not the total number of
cores in the system. To report this correctly on machines with multiple
CPU clusters (ARM's big.LITTLE or Xilinx's ZynqMP) we need to allow
the machine to overwrite this value. To do this let's add an optional
property.
Backports commit f9a697112ee64180354f98309a5d6b691cc8699d from qemu
Add support for the new ARMv8.2 SHA-3, SM3, SM4 and SHA-512 instructions to
AArch64 user mode emulation.
Backports commit 955f56d44a73d74016b2e71765d984ac7a6db1dc from qemu
Enable the ARM_FEATURE_EL2 bit on Cortex-A52 and
Cortex-A57, since this is all now sufficiently implemented
to work with the GICv3. We provide the usual CPU property
to disable it for backwards compatibility with the older
virt boards.
In this commit, we disable the EL2 feature on the
virt and ZynpMP boards, so there is no overall effect.
Another commit will expose a board-level property to
allow the user to enable EL2.
Backports commit c25bd18a04c8bd0f19556d719864b7b08528222d from qemu
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
