[RFC PATCH v1 1/5] arm64: cpufeature: Detect the ARMv8.4 TTRem feature

[Yanan Wang <wangyanan55@huawei.com>]

The ARMv8.4 TTRem feature offers 3 levels of support when changing block
size without changing any other parameters that are listed as requiring
use of break-before-make.

With level 0 supported, software must use break-before-make to avoid the
possible hardware problems. With level 1 supported, besides use of BBM,
software can also make use of the nT block translation entry. With level
2 supported, besides approaches of BBM and nT, software can also directly
change block size, but TLB conflicts possibly occur as a result.

We have found a place where TTRem can be used to improve the performance
in guest stage-2 translation. So detact the TTRem feature here.
