arm64: Add skeleton to harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks
Aliasing attacks against CPU branch predictors can allow the attacks to
redirect speculative control flow on some CPUs and potentially divulge
information from one context to another.
This patch adds initial skeleton code behind a new Kconfig option to
enable implementation-specific mitigations against these attacks for
CPUs that are affected.
