arm64: trap userspace "dc cvau" cache operation on errata-affected core
The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 for affected Cortex-A53 cores demand to promote "dc cvau" instructions to "dc civac". Since we allow userspace to also emit those instructions, we should make sure that "dc cvau" gets promoted there too. So lets grasp the nettle here and actually trap every userland cache maintenance instruction once we detect at least one affected core in the system. We then emulate the instruction by executing it on behalf of userland, promoting "dc cvau" to "dc civac" on the way and injecting access fault back into userspace.
