When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.

Summary:
- I noticed that device discovery for virtio-mmio devices does not
work without bus=virtio-mmio-bus.x option. Without this option,
qemu assigns the virtio device into the virtio-mmio space
in reverse order automatically.
- To fix this issue, we must specify the correct numbers for the
target machines. (i.e. arm32/64->32, rv32/64->8)
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with qemu-7.2.4

replace *(.init_array .init_array.*) with KEEP(*(.init_array .init_array.*)).
The KEEP statement within a linker script will instruct the linker to keep the specified section, even if no symbols inside it are referenced. This statement is used within the SECTIONS section of the linker script. This becomes relevant when garbage collection is performed at link time, enabled by passing the --gc-sections switch to the linker. The KEEP statement instructs the linker to use the specified section as a root node when creating a dependency graph, looking for unused sections. Essentially forcing the section to be marked as used.

When reading https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps/pull/1793, I found a previous problem https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps/pull/1454#discussion_r1045718067 now still exists on current master (inf in iperf bandwidth).
By step-by-step debugging, I found a value of 1000000.0 stored in register d8 is overwritten as 0 after context switch, then fdiv results in inf because of divided by 0. Finally I found that ARCH_FPU is not enabled while compiler is using FPU, and may lose values in floating-point registers.

At present, the serial drivers qemu_serial.c and serial_pl011.c on the fvp-v8r and qemu platforms in arm64 are duplicated
and need to be merged. The plan is to place them under the drivers\serial directory to create a common code module,
so that both fvp-v8r and qemu can use the same code.
In the future, if new platforms use pl011 serial ports, they can also be directly reused

Summary:
The aarch64 have EL0~El3 execute level and NS/S (security state),
the NuttX should be execute at EL1 in NS(ARmv8-A) or S(ARmv8-R)
state. but booting NuttX have different ELs and state while with
different platform, if NuttX runing at wrong ELs or state it will
be not normal anymore. So we need to print something in arm64_head.S
to debug this situation.
Enabling this option will need to implement up_earlyserialinit and
up_lowputc functions just you see in qemu, if you not sure,
keeping the option disable.

Currently NuttX on Arm64 supports Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) Versions 3 and 4: [`arm64_gicv3.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv3.c), [`arm64_gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gic.h). This PR adds support for GIC Version 2, which is needed by [Pine64 PinePhone](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/interrupt) based on Allwinner A64 SoC.
This 64-bit implementation of GIC v2 is mostly identical to the existing GIC v2 for 32-bit Armv7-A ([`armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c), [`armv7-a/gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/gic.h)), with minor modifications to support 64-bit Registers (Interrupt Context).
- `arch/arm64/Kconfig`: Under "ARM64 Options", we added an integer option `ARM_GIC_VERSION` ("GIC version") that selects the GIC Version. Valid values are 2, 3 and 4, default is 3.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv2.c`: Implements 64-bit GIC v2 based on 32-bit [`armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c) and [`armv7-a/gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/gic.h), modified to support 64-bit Registers (Interrupt Context).
Function and Macro Names have not been changed, for easier cross-referencing between the 32-bit and 64-bit implementations of GIC v2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv3.c`: Added Conditional Compilation for GIC v3. This file will not be compiled if `ARM_GIC_VERSION` is 2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gic.h`: Added the Version Identifier for GIC v2. At startup we read the GIC Version from hardware and verify that it matches `ARM_GIC_VERSION`.
- `arch/arm64/include/qemu/chip.h`: Added the QEMU Base Addresses for GIC v2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/Make.defs`: Added the source file that implements GIC v2.
- `boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a/README.txt`: Added the documentation for testing GIC v2 with QEMU.
- `boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a/configs/nsh_gicv2/defconfig`: Added the Board Configuration `qemu-armv8a:nsh_gicv2` for testing GIC v2 with QEMU. Identical to `qemu-armv8a:nsh`, except that `ARM_GIC_VERSION` is 2.
This change adds the following:
- Rename the board configuration name from qemu-a53 to qemu-v8a.
- Add the configurations for Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72.

Use CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_QEMU instead of CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_QEMU_A53. This is because these configurations depend on the hardware configuration of qemu (memory map, irq numbers, etc.).

1. GCC MACOS issue
The GCC 11.2 toolchain for MACOS may get crash while compiling
float operation function, the following link describe the issue
and give analyse at the issue:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5825
it's seem GCC give a wrong instruction at certain machine which
without architecture features
the new toolchain is not available still, so just disable the MACOS
