We should prefer HINVAL.GVMA and HINVAL.VVMA instruction for local TLB
maintenance when underlying host supports Svinval extension.

Introduce hlv instruction encodings and apply them to KVM's use.
We're careful not to introduce hlv.d to 32-bit builds. Indeed,
we ensure the build fails if someone tries to use it.

Introduce hfence instruction encodings and apply them to KVM's use.
With the self-documenting nature of the instruction encoding macros,
and a spec always within arm's reach, it's safe to remove the
comments, so we do that too.

When compiling with toolchains that haven't yet been taught about
new instructions we need to encode them ourselves. Create a new file
where support for instruction definitions will evolve. We initiate
the file with a macro called INSN_R(), which implements the R-type
instruction encoding. INSN_R() will use the assembler's .insn
directive when available, which should give the assembler a chance
to do some validation. When .insn is not available we fall back to
manual encoding.
Not only should using instruction encoding macros improve readability
and maintainability of code over the alternative of inserting
instructions directly (e.g. '.word 0xc0de'), but we should also gain
potential for more optimized code after compilation because the
compiler will have control over the input and output registers used.
