Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
  which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
  applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
  new vector context (&lt;= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
  work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
  is solid now.

  Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
  they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
  future.

  Plenty of acronym soup here:

   - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)

   - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
     events)

   - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types

   - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps

   - use of WFE to implement long delay()s

   - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)

   - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs

   - misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

We should only try to initialize GICv4 data structures on a GICv4
capable system.  Move the vgic_supports_direct_msis() check inito
vgic_v4_init() so that any KVM VGIC initialization path does not fail
on non-GICv4 systems.

Also be slightly more strict in the checking of the return value in
vgic_its_create, and only error out on negative return values from the
vgic_v4_init() function.  This is important because the kvm device code
only treats negative values as errors and only cleans up in this case.
Errornously treating a positive return value as an error from the
vgic_v4_init() function can lead to NULL pointer dereferences, as has
recently been observed.

All it takes is the has_v4 flag to be set in gic_kvm_info
as well as "kvm-arm.vgic_v4_enable=1" being passed on the
command line for GICv4 to be enabled in KVM.
