On latest Arm Cortex-N1/A76/A75 cores, Xen guests will encouter random
crash when they have wordloads. It's because Xen will ignore FP/SIMD
registers in vCPU context switch (see patch#1 for more details).

This patch set fix guest random crash on these new cores, and throw
messages when Xen detects known FP/SIMD features.

---
 v2 --> v3:
  1. Improve the warning messages to give clear meanings
  2. Fix typos

 v1 --> v2:
  1. Use "< 8" instead of "<= 1" to detect FP/SIMD features.
  2. Give messages for unknown FP/SIMD features.
  3. Fix typos.
