Armv8.4-A extension enables MRS instruction encodings inside ESR_ELx.ISS
during exception class ESR_ELx_EC_SYS64 (0x18). This encoding can be used
to emulate MRS instructions which can avoid fetch/decode from user space
thus improving performance. The patch series here enables this new method
of emulating MRS instruction. For this purpose we factorizes the existing
emulate_mrs() function and while here, add new macro ESR_ELx_SYS64_ISS_RT.

Changes in V2:

- Replaced the argument 'dst' as 'rt' in second patch per Suzuki
- Added review tags from Suzuki
