In commit f7767ca301 ("target/arm: Disable SME if SVE is disabled")
we added code that forces SME to be disabled if SVE is disabled.
This was something we did in the run-up to a release to avoid an
assertion failure in smcr_write() if the user disabled SVE on the
'max' CPU without disabling SME also.
Now that we have corrected the code so that it doesn't assert
in an SME-without-SVE setup, we can let users select it.
This effectively reverts f7767ca301.
Note that this now means that command lines like "-cpu max,sve=off"
which used to turn off SME and SVE will now give you a CPU with SME
but not SVE. This is permitted by our loose "max can always give you
extra stuff" rules, but may be unexpected to users. Mention this in
the CPU property documentation.

In our handling of the boolean 'sme' CPU property, we write this 0/1
value directly to ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.SME. This worked when the only
valid values in that field were 0 (for no SME) and 1 (for SME1).
However, with the addition of SME2 the SME field can now also read 2.
This means that "-cpu max,sme=on" will result in an inconsistent set
of ID registers, where ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.SME claims SME1 but
ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1.SMEver claims SME2p1. This isn't a valid thing to
report, and confuses Linux into reporting SME2 to userspace but not
actually enabling userspace access for it.
Fix this bug by having arm_cpu_sme_finalize() fix up the
ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.SME field to match ID_AA64SMFR0.SMEver. This means
the "sme" property's semantics are "off" for "no SME" and "on" for
"enable at whatever the default SME version this CPU provides is".
Update the documentation to clarify what 'sve=on' and 'sme=on' do.
(We don't have the equivalent bug for 'sve=on' because
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE only has 0 and 1 as valid values, but the
semantics of the property are the same.)

FEAT_E2H0 is a formalisation of the existing behaviour of HCR_EL2.E2H
being programmable to switch between EL2 host mode and the
"traditional" nVHE EL2 mode. This implies at some point we might want
to model CPUs without FEAT_E2H0 which will always have EL2 host mode
enabled.
There are two values to represent no E2H0 systems of which 0b1110 will
make HCR_EL2.NV1 RES0 for FEAT_NV systems. For FEAT_NV2 the NV1 bit is
always valid.

Make some minor improvements to the rendering of the docs for

* use a proper hyperlink rather than a bare URL for the
link to the reference manual
* drop the hex address of the SMC SRAM: the bare '@' is
rendered as bogus mailto: hyperlink, and the information
is not very interesting to the user anyway
* expand out the abbreviations in the list of Cortex-A9
per-CPU devices
* correct the bullet-point list markup so it doesn't render

The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding many years back
involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result
our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms.
It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's
easy enough to make docs/ consistent.
We last did this in commit 6fe6d6c9a in 2020, but a few new
uses of the wrong capitalization have crept back in since.
As before, "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and
older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.
In a few places we make minor grammar fixups as we touch
the sentences we're fixing.

Code based on i386/pc enablement.
The memory layout places space for 16 host bridge register regions after
the GIC_REDIST2 in the extended memmap. This is a hole in the current
map so adding them here has no impact on placement of other memory regions
(tested with enough CPUs for GIC_REDIST2 to be in use.)
The high memory map is GiB aligned so the hole is there whatever the
size of memory or device_memory below this point.
The CFMWs are placed above the extended memmap. Note the existing
variable highest_gpa is the highest GPA that has been allocated at
a particular point in setting up the memory map. Whilst this caused
some confusion in review there are existing comments explaining this
so nothing is added.
The cxl_devices_state.host_mr provides a small space in which to place
the individual host bridge register regions for whatever host bridges are
allocated via -device pxb-cxl on the command line. The existing dynamic
sysbus infrastructure is not reused because pxb-cxl is a PCI device not
a sysbus one but these registers are directly in the main memory map,
not the PCI address space.
Only create the CEDT table if cxl=on set for the machine. Default to off.

Apple defines a new "vmapple" machine type as part of its proprietary
macOS Virtualization.Framework vmm. This machine type is similar to the
virt one, but with subtle differences in base devices, a few special
vmapple device additions and a vastly different boot chain.
This patch reimplements this machine type in QEMU. To use it, you
have to have a readily installed version of macOS for VMApple,
run on macOS with -accel hvf, pass the Virtualization.Framework
boot rom (AVPBooter) in via -bios, pass the aux and root volume as pflash
and pass aux and root volume as virtio drives. In addition, you also
need to find the machine UUID and pass that as -M vmapple,uuid= parameter:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -accel hvf -M vmapple,uuid=0x1234 -m 4G \
-bios /System/Library/Frameworks/Virtualization.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AVPBooter.vmapple2.bin
-drive file=aux,if=pflash,format=raw \
-drive file=root,if=pflash,format=raw \
-drive file=aux,if=none,id=aux,format=raw \
-device vmapple-virtio-blk-pci,variant=aux,drive=aux \
-drive file=root,if=none,id=root,format=raw \
-device vmapple-virtio-blk-pci,variant=root,drive=root
With all these in place, you should be able to see macOS booting
successfully.
Known issues:
- Currently only macOS 12 guests are supported. The boot process for
13+ will need further investigation and adjustment.
