[PATCH 00/16] target/arm: sve load/store improvements

[Richard Henderson]

The goal here is to support MTE, but there's some cleanup to do.

Technically, we have sufficient interfaces in cputlb.c now, but it
requires multiple tlb lookups on different interfaces to do so.

Adding probe_access_flags() allows probing the tlb and getting out
some of the flags buried in the tlb comparator, such as TLB_MMIO
and TLB_WATCHPOINT.  In addition, we get no-fault semantics,
which we don't have via probe_acccess().

Adding cpu_probe_watchpoint() allows to *not* stop a first-fault
or no-fault load when the page contains a watchpoint, but the actual
access does not hit.

Having these available means that we can handle all of the watchpoints
for a given set of loads/stores all at once, before we begin doing any
actual memory operations.  Further, the actual memory operation on a
page of ram that has a watchpoint can still use the fast path.

Looking forward to MTE, we can examine the Tagged bit on a per-page
basis and avoid dozens of mte_check calls that must be Unchecked.
That comes later, in a new version of the MTE patch set, but I do
add comments for where the checks should be added.
