This series adds support for Privileged Access Never (PAN; part of the ARMv8.1
Extensions). When enabled, this feature causes a permission fault if the kernel
attempts to access memory that is also accessible by userspace - instead the
PAN bit must be cleared when accessing userspace memory. (or use the
ldt*/stt* instructions).

This series detects and enables this feature, and uses alternatives to change
{get,put}_user() et al to clear the PAN bit while they do their work.

Changes since v 2:
* Added missing PAN-swivel around  swp emulation. (Thanks to Vladimir Murzin for
  spotting this!).
* Use bit shifts in cpuid_feature_extract_field(), to produce better asm.
* Changed the enable() patch field names, and switched to ints.
* Removed PSTATE_PAN define and use PSR_PAN_BIT instead.

Changes since v1:
* Copied cpuid_feature_extract_field() from arch/arm as a new patch, suggested
  by Russell King [1].
* Changed feature-detection patch to use cpuid_feature_extract_field() for sign
  extension, and '>='.
* Moved SCTLR_EL1_* from asm/cputype.h to asm/sysreg.h
* Added PSR_PAN_BIT in uapi/asm/ptrace.h
* Removed the setting of PSTATE_PAN in kernel/process.c
