There is a race where a thread causes a coprocessor type to be valid
in its own ACOP _and_ in the current context, but it does not
propagate to the ACOP register of other threads in time for them to
use it. The original code tries to solve this by sending an IPI to
all threads on the system, which is heavy handed, but unfortunately
still provides a window where the icswx is issued by other threads and
the ACOP is not up to date.
This patch detects that the ACOP DSI fault was a "false positive" and
syncs the ACOP and causes the icswx to be replayed.

This patch adds a fault handler that responds to illegal Coprocessor
types. Currently all CTs are treated and illegal. There are two ways
to report the fault back to the application. If the application used
the record form ("icswx.") then the architected "reject" is emulated.
If the application did not used the record form ("icswx") then it is
selectable by config whether the failure is silent (as architected) or
a SIGILL is generated.
In all cases pr_warn() is used to log the bad CT.

Some processors, like embedded, that already have a PID register that
is managed by the system. This patch separates the ACOP and PID
processing into separate files so that the ACOP code can be shared.
