[PATCH v2 6/7] xen/arm: Taint Xen on incompatible DCZID values

[Bertrand Marquis <bertrand.marquis@xxxxxxx>]

Use arm64 cpu feature sanitization to TAIN Xen if different DCZID values
are found (ftr_dczid is using only STRICT method).
In this case actual memory being cleaned by DC ZVA operations would be
different depending on the cores which could make a guest zeroing too
much or too little memory if it is merged between CPUs.

We could, on processor supporting it, trap access to DCZID_EL0 register
using HFGRTR_EL2 register but this would not solve the case where a
process is being migrated during a copy or if it cached the value of the
register.
