rS354182: ARM64: Treat alignment faults as bus errors
Summary

ARM64 currently treats all data abort exceptions as page faults. This
can cause infinite loops on non-page fault faults, such as alignment faults.

Since kernel-side alignment faults should be avoided, this adds support directly
to the el0 fault handler, instead of the data_abort() handler.

Test Plan

Tested on rpi3, with a misaligned ldm test.

I've been thinking we should use a table of function pointers similar to how 32 bit arm does it. There are a few other cases that shouldn't be handled by data_abort.

I thing you want ISS_DATA_DFSC_MASK here.

You're right, that makes more sense.

Address @andrew's feedback. Use the right sub-mask to get the DFSC bits.

Can you rebase on top of D22170?
