sme: Enable SME registers and pseudo-registers
The SME (Scalable Matrix Extension) [1] exposes a new matrix register ZA with
variable sizes. It also exposes a new mode called streaming mode.
Similarly to SVE, the ZA register size is dictated by a vector length, but the
SME vector length is called streaming vetor length. The total size for
ZA in a given moment is svl x svl.
In streaming mode, the SVE registers have their sizes based on svl rather than
the regular vector length (vl).
The feature detection is controlled by the HWCAP2_SME bit, but actual support
should be validated by attempting a ptrace call for one of the new register
sets: NT_ARM_ZA and NT_ARM_SSVE.
Due to its large size, the ZA register is exposed as a vector of bytes, but we
introduce a number of pseudo-registers that gives various different views
into the ZA contents. These can be arranged in a couple categories: tiles and
tile slices.
Tiles are matrices the same size or smaller than ZA. Tile slices are vectors
which map to ZA's rows/columns in different ways.
A new dynamic target description is provided containing the ZA register, the SVG
register and the SVCR register. The size of ZA, like the SVE vector registers,
is based on the vector length register SVG (VG for SVE).
This patch enables SME register support for gdb.
