Summary:
Keeping this option out of depend on any common serial.
Using the option, need to implement xxx_lowputc.S/c.
You can also logging the booting message through rewriting
fake arm64_lowputc with other debug method (eg semihosting,
ARM debug channel etc).

Summary:
To reduce the count of FPU context switching will result at a
performance improve with system. it need to balance between
the using of FPU and counts of FPU trap
the PR submit a base method to see performance counts for
the FPU with NuttX procfs
Please read README.txt at chapter of FPU Support and Performance

Summary:
Adding virtual evaluate platform FVP. This FVP board configuration
will be used to emulate generic ARM64v8-R (Cotex-R82)series hardware
platform and provide support for these devices:
- GICv3 interrupt controllers for ARMv8-r
- PL011 UART controller(FVP)
Note:
1. ostest is PASSED at fvp ( single core and SMP)
2. the FVP tools can be download from ARM site, please check FVP

Summary
VMPIDR_EL2 holds the value of the Virtualization Multiprocessor ID.
From architecture manual of AArch64, the behave is:
-reading register MPIDR_EL1 in EL2, it's return real MPIDR_EL1
-reading register MPIDR_EL1 in EL1, it's return VMPIDR_EL2
So since NuttX for SMP is running at EL1 to read MPIDR_EL1 for
identify CPU id, it's need to set VMPIDR_EL2 to MPIDR_EL1 for
every CPU at boot EL2 stage.
For some platform, the bootloader or hypervisor will do that at
the EL2 stage, but not all.

Summary:
Adding armv8-r(Cortex-R82) support and modify some common code to
fit the change, the change including:
1. ARM Single Security State Support, ARMv8-R support only single
security state, and some GIC configure need to change and fit
2. For ARMv8-R, only have EL0 ~ EL2, the code at EL3 is not necessary
and system register for EL3 is not accessible(gcc will failed when
access these registers)
3. add base MPU configure for the platform.

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.

Summory
This Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI) defines a standard
interface for power management. the PCSI need to implement handling
firmware at EL2 or EL3 for ARM64. the PSCI maybe not applicable
for arm core without PCSI firmware interface implement.
Add configure option for it.

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.

Summary:
Arm64 support for NuttX, Features supported:
1. Cortex-a53 single core and SMP support: it's can run into nsh shell at
qemu virt machine.
2. qemu-a53 board configuration support: it's only for evaluate propose
3. FPU support for armv8-a: FPU context switching at NEON/floating-point
TRAP is supported.
4. psci interface, armv8 cache operation(data cache) and smccc support.
5. fix mass code style issue, thank for @xiaoxiang781216, @hartmannathan @pkarashchenko
Please refer to boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-a53/README.txt for detail
Note:
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
cibuild check at present
