xen/arm: Implement Set/Way operations

Set/Way operations are used to perform maintenance on a given cache.
At the moment, Set/Way operations are not trapped and therefore a guest
OS will directly act on the local cache. However, a vCPU may migrate to
another pCPU in the middle of the processor. This will result to have
cache with stale data (Set/Way are not propagated) potentially causing
crash. This may be the cause of heisenbug noticed in Osstest [1].

Furthermore, Set/Way operations are not available on system cache. This
means that OS, such as Linux 32-bit, relying on those operations to
fully clean the cache before disabling MMU may break because data may
sits in system caches and not in RAM.

For more details about Set/Way, see the talk "The Art of Virtualizing
Cache Maintenance" given at Xen Summit 2018 [2].

In the context of Xen, we need to trap Set/Way operations and emulate
them. From the Arm Arm (B1.14.4 in DDI 046C.c), Set/Way operations are
difficult to virtualized. So we can assume that a guest OS using them will
suffer the consequence (i.e slowness) until developer removes all the usage
of Set/Way.

As the software is not allowed to infer the Set/Way to Physical Address
mapping, Xen will need to go through the guest P2M and clean &
invalidate all the entries mapped.

Because Set/Way happen in batch (a loop on all Set/Way of a cache), Xen
would need to go through the P2M for every instructions. This is quite
expensive and would severely impact the guest OS. The implementation is
re-using the KVM policy to limit the number of flush:
    - If we trap a Set/Way operations, we enable VM trapping (i.e
      HVC_EL2.TVM) to detect cache being turned on/off, and do a full
    clean.
    - We clean the caches when turning on and off
    - Once the caches are enabled, we stop trapping VM instructions

* See note at ARMv7 ARM B1.14.4 (DDI 0406C.c) (TL;DR: S/W ops are not

*
* Main problems:
* - S/W ops are local to a CPU (not broadcast)
* - We have line migration behind our back (speculation)
* - System caches don't support S/W at all (damn!)
*
* In the face of the above, the best we can do is to try and convert
* S/W ops to VA ops. Because the guest is not allowed to infer the S/W
* to PA mapping, it can only use S/W to nuke the whole cache, which is
* rather a good thing for us.
*
* Also, it is only used when turning caches on/off ("The expected
* usage of the cache maintenance instructions that operate by set/way
* is associated with the powerdown and powerup of caches, if this is
* required by the implementation.").
*
* We use the following policy:
* - If we trap a S/W operation, we enabled VM trapping to detect
* caches being turned on/off, and do a full clean.
*
* - We flush the caches on both caches being turned on and off.
*
* - Once the caches are enabled, we stop trapping VM ops.
