[PATCH v2 0/6] initialize SCTRL2_ELx

[Yeoreum Yun]

This series introduces initial support for the SCTLR2_ELx registers in Linux.
The feature is optional starting from ARMv8.8/ARMv9.3,
and becomes mandatory from ARMv8.9/ARMv9.4.

Currently, Linux has no strict need to modify SCTLR2_ELx—
at least assuming that firmware initializes
these registers to reasonable defaults.

However, several upcoming architectural features will require configuring
control bits in these registers.
Notable examples include FEAT_PAuth_LR and FEAT_CPA2.
