arch: arm: cortex_m: Add ARMv8.1-M MVE configs
This commit adds the ARMv8.1-M M-Profile Vector Extension (MVE)
configurations as well as the compiler flags to enable it.
The M-Profile Vector Extension consists of the MVE-I and MVE-F
instruction sets which are integer and floating-point vector
instruction sets, respectively.
The MVE-I instruction set is a superset of the ARM DSP instruction
set (ARMv7E-M) and therefore depends on ARMV8_M_DSP, and the MVE-F
instruction set is a superset of the ARM MVE-I instruction set and
therefore depends on ARMV8_1_M_MVEI.
The SoCs that implement the MVE instruction set should select the
following configurations:
select ARMV8_M_DSP
select ARMV8_1_M_MVEI
select ARMV8_1_M_MVEF (if floating-point MVE is supported)
The GCC compiler flags for the MVE instruction set are specified
through the `-mcpu` flag.
In case of the Cortex-M55 (the only supported processor type for
ARMv8.1-M at the time of writing), the `-mcpu=cortex-m55` flag, by
default, enables all the supported extensions which are DSP, MVE-I and
MVE-F.
The extensions that are not supported can be specified by appending
`+no(ext)` to the `-mcpu=cortex-m55` flag:
-mcpu=cortex-m55 Cortex-M55 with DSP + MVE-I + MVE-F
-mcpu=cortex-m55+nomve.fp Cortex-M55 with DSP + MVE-I
-mcpu=cortex-m55+nomve Cortex-M55 with DSP
-mcpu=cortex-m55+nodsp Cortex-M55 without any extensions
