This is a followp to previous iteration but implemented on top of VHE patches. 
Only non-VHE path is addressied by this patch. In second patch 32-bit handler 
is updated to keep exit handling consistent with 64-bit code, and nothing
has changed.

Currently we save/restore fp/simd on each exit, the first  patch optimizes 
arm64 save/restore, we only do so on Guest access. hackbench and
several lmbench tests show anywhere from 30% to 50% of exits don't 
save/restore fp/simd register set.

Tested on Foundation Model, unfortuntely not tested yet on VHE enabled model.

  Optimize arm64 non-VHE fpsimd skip 30-50% save/restore on exits
  keep arm vfp/simd exit handling consistent with arm64
