KVM: arm64: Allow userspace to get the writable masks for feature ID registers
While the Feature ID range is well defined and pretty large, it isn't inconceivable that the architecture will eventually grow some other ranges that will need to similarly be described to userspace. Add a VM ioctl to allow userspace to get writable masks for feature ID registers in below system register space: op0 = 3, op1 = {0, 1, 3}, CRn = 0, CRm = {0 - 7}, op2 = {0 - 7} This is used to support mix-and-match userspace and kernels for writable ID registers, where userspace may want to know upfront whether it can actually tweak the contents of an idreg or not. Add a new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_SUPPORTED_FEATURE_ID_RANGES) that returns a bitmap of the valid ranges, which can subsequently be retrieved, one at a time by setting the index of the set bit as the range identifier.
