Ard Biesheuvel c5b91a17cc arm64/simd: Add scoped guard API for kernel mode SIMD
Encapsulate kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() using a 'ksimd'
cleanup guard. This hides the prototype of those functions, allowing
them to be changed for arm64 but not ARM, without breaking code that is
shared between those architectures (RAID6, AEGIS-128)

It probably makes sense to expose this API more widely across
architectures, as it affords more flexibility to the arch code to
plumb it in, while imposing more rigid rules regarding the start/end
bookends appearing in matched pairs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
