arm64: kconfig: group the v8.1 features together

ARMv8 CPUs do not support any of the v8.1 features, so group them
together in Kconfig to make it clear that they're part of 8.1 and not
relevant to older cores.

help
The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for
hardware updates of the access and dirty information in page
table entries. When enabled in TCR_EL1 (HA and HD bits) on
capable processors, accesses to pages with PTE_AF cleared will
set this bit instead of raising an access flag fault.
Similarly, writes to read-only pages with the DBM bit set will
clear the read-only bit (AP[2]) instead of raising a
permission fault.
Kernels built with this configuration option enabled continue
to work on pre-ARMv8.1 hardware and the performance impact is
minimal. If unsure, say Y.

bool "Enable support for Privileged Access Never (PAN)"

help
Privileged Access Never (PAN; part of the ARMv8.1 Extensions)
prevents the kernel or hypervisor from accessing user-space (EL0)
memory directly.
Choosing this option will cause any unprotected (not using
copy_to_user et al) memory access to fail with a permission fault.
The feature is detected at runtime, and will remain as a 'nop'
instruction if the cpu does not implement the feature.
config ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS

help
As part of the Large System Extensions, ARMv8.1 introduces new
atomic instructions that are designed specifically to scale in
very large systems.
Say Y here to make use of these instructions for the in-kernel
atomic routines. This incurs a small overhead on CPUs that do
not support these instructions and requires the kernel to be
built with binutils >= 2.25.
