arm64: Support systems without FP/ASIMD
The arm64 kernel assumes that FP/ASIMD units are always present and accesses the FP/ASIMD specific registers unconditionally. This could cause problems when they are absent. This patch adds the support for kernel handling systems without FP/ASIMD by skipping the register access within the kernel. For kvm, we trap the accesses to FP/ASIMD and inject an undefined instruction exception to the VM. The callers of the exported kernel_neon_begin_partial() should make sure that the FP/ASIMD is supported.
