aarch64: Update system register gating
Historically we have been inconsistent and overly restrictive in our
choice of features to gate system register accesses. (Originally this
gating was always applied, but now it is disabled unless the
--menable-sysreg-checking option is specified).
This patch updates these constraints, following the principle that we
should only reject a system register access if it requires some
architecture feature or version whose corresponding command line
extension has not been enabled.
The most common change in this patch concerns system registers that
were:
- part of a feature FEAT_X with no corresponding command line extension;
- introduced in a newer architecture version ArmvX.Z;
- permitted to be implemented from an earlier version ArmvX.Y.
Previously these system registers tended to be gated on ArmvX.Z or left
ungated, but following the above principle they are now gated on ArmvX.Y
instead.
