[PATCH] arm64: uaccess: Optimize copy_to/from_user with LSUI extension

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add support for the ARMv9.6/LSUI (Load/Store Unprivileged Immediate)
extension to optimize copy_from_user operations. The implementation
uses the alternative mechanism to select between the standard unprivileged
load-pair sequence and the new ldtp/sttp instruction at runtime based on
hardware capability.
