Hi all,

This patch series is moving out the ASID allocator in a separate file in order
to re-use it for the VMID. The benefits are:
    - CPUs are not forced to exit on a roll-over.
    - Context invalidation is now per-CPU rather than
      broadcasted.

There are no performance regression on the fastpath for ASID allocation.
Actually on the hackbench measurement (300 hackbench) it was .7% faster.

The measurement was made on a Seattle based SoC (8 CPUs), with the
number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves running concurrently 40
guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then execute hackbench 5 times
before exiting.

The performance difference (on 5.1-rc1) between the current algo and the
new one are:
    - 2.5% less exit from the guest
    - 22.4% more flush, although they are now local rather than broadcasted
    - 0.11% faster (just for the record)

The ASID allocator rework to make it generic has been divided in multiple
patches to make the review easier.

Compare to the first RFC, Arm is not duplicated most of the code anymore.
Instead, Arm will build the version from Arm64.

A branch with the patch based on 5.2-rc5 can be found:
