    xen/arm: Missing N1/A76/A75 FP registers in vCPU context switch
    
    Xen has cpu_has_fp/cpu_has_simd to detect whether the CPU supports
    FP/SIMD or not. But currently, these two MACROs only consider value 0
    of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.FP/SIMD as FP/SIMD features enabled. But for CPUs
    that support FP/SIMD and half-precision floating-point arithmetic, the
    ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.FP/SIMD are 1 (see Arm ARM DDI0487F.b, D13.2.64).
    For these CPUs, xen will treat them as no FP/SIMD support, the
    vfp_save/restore_state will not take effect.
    
    From the TRM documents of Cortex-A75/A76/N1, we know these CPUs support
    basic Advanced SIMD/FP and half-precision floating-point arithmetic. In
    this case, on N1/A76/A75 platforms, Xen will always miss the floating
    pointer registers save/restore. If different vCPUs are running on the
    same pCPU, the floating pointer registers will be corrupted randomly.
    
    This patch fixes Xen on these new cores.
