Mark Brown d09ee410a3 arm64/sve: Document our actual ABI for clearing registers on syscall
Currently our ABI documentation says that the state of the bits in the Z
registers not shared with the V registers becomes undefined on syscall but
our actual implementation unconditionally clears these bits. Taking
advantage of the flexibility of our documented ABI would be a change in the
observable ABI so there is concern around doing so, instead document the
actual behaviour so that it is more discoverable for userspace programmers
who might be able to take advantage of it and to record our decision about
not changing the kernel ABI.

This makes qemu's user mode implementation buggy since it does not clear
these bits.
