- Fix handling of SVE traps from userspace on preemptible kernels when
converting the saved floating point state into SVE state.
- Remove broken support for the SMCCCv1.3 "SVE discard hint"
optimisation.
- Disable SME support, as the current support code suffers from numerous
issues around signal delivery, ptrace access and context-switch which
can lead to user-visible corruption of the register state.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"Here is a (hopefully) final round of arm64 fixes for 6.12 that address
some user-visible floating point register corruption. Both of the
Marks have been working on this for a couple of weeks and we've ended
up in a position where SVE is solid but SME still has enough pending
issues that the most pragmatic solution for the release and stable
backports is to disable the feature. Yes, it's a shame, but the
hardware is rare as hen's teeth at the moment and we're better off
getting back to a known good state before fixing it all properly.
We're also improving the selftests for 6.13 to help avoid merging
broken code in the future.
Anyway, the good news is that we're removing a lot more code than
we're adding.
Summary:
- Fix handling of SVE traps from userspace on preemptible kernels
when converting the saved floating point state into SVE state.
- Remove broken support for the SMCCCv1.3 "SVE discard hint"
optimisation.
- Disable SME support, as the current support code suffers from
numerous issues around signal delivery, ptrace access and
context-switch which can lead to user-visible corruption of the
register state"
