    xen/arm: Always trap AMU system registers
    
    The Activity Monitors Unit (AMU) has been introduced by ARMv8.4. It is
    considered to be unsafe to be expose to guests as they might expose
    information about code executed by other guests or the host.
    
    Arm provided a way to trap all the AMU system registers by setting
    CPTR_EL2.TAM to 1.
    
    Unfortunately, on older revision of the specification, the bit 30 (now
    CPTR_EL1.TAM) was RES0. Because of that, Xen is setting it to 0 and
    therefore the system registers would be exposed to the guest when it is
    run on processors with AMU.
    
    As the bit is mark as UNKNOWN at boot in Armv8.4, the only safe solution
    for us is to always set CPTR_EL1.TAM to 1.
    
    Guest trying to access the AMU system registers will now receive an
    undefined instruction. Unfortunately, this means that even well-behaved
    guest may fail to boot because we don't sanitize the ID registers.
    
    This is a known issues with other Armv8.0+ features (e.g. SVE, Pointer
    Auth). This will taken care separately.
    
    This is part of XSA-351 (or XSA-93 re-born).
