[PATCH] arm64: alternative: Provide if/else/endif assembler macros

[Daniel Thompson]

The existing alternative_insn macro has some limitations that make it
hard to work with. In partiuclar the fact it takes instructions from it
own macro arguments means it doesn't play very nicely with C pre-processor
macros because the macro arguments look like a string to the C
pre-processor. Workarounds are (probably) possible but things start to
look ugly.

Introduce an alternative set of macros that allows instructions to be
presented to the assembler as normal and switch everything over to the
new macros.

Notes:
    To be honest these if not/else/endif macros are simply more readable
    than the original macro and that might be enough to justify them on
    their own. However below is an example that is needlessly hard to
    write without them because ICC_PMR_EL1 is a C pre-processor macro.
    
     	.macro	disable_irq, tmp
     	mov	\tmp, #ICC_PMR_EL1_MASKED
    alternative_if_not ARM64_HAS_SYSREG_GIC_CPUIF
    	msr	daifset, #2
    alternative_else
     	msr_s	ICC_PMR_EL1, \tmp
    alternative_endif
    	.endm
    
    The new macros have received a fair degree of testing because I have
    based my (not published since March) pseudo-NMI patch set on them.
