Since https://github.com/ARM-software/acle/pull/276 the ACLE
defines attributes to better describe the use of a given SME state.
Previously the attributes merely described the possibility of it being
'shared' or 'preserved', whereas the new attributes have more semantics
and also describe how the data flows through the program.
For ZT0 we already had to add new LLVM IR attributes:
* aarch64_new_zt0
* aarch64_in_zt0
* aarch64_out_zt0
* aarch64_inout_zt0
* aarch64_preserves_zt0
We have now done the same for ZA, such that we add:
* aarch64_new_za (previously `aarch64_pstate_za_new`)
* aarch64_in_za (more specific variation of `aarch64_pstate_za_shared`)
* aarch64_out_za (more specific variation of `aarch64_pstate_za_shared`)
* aarch64_inout_za (more specific variation of
`aarch64_pstate_za_shared`)
* aarch64_preserves_za (previously `aarch64_pstate_za_shared,
aarch64_pstate_za_preserved`)
This explicitly removes 'pstate' from the name, because with SME2 and
the new ACLE attributes there is a difference between "sharing ZA"
(sharing
the ZA matrix register with the caller) and "sharing PSTATE.ZA" (sharing
either the ZA or ZT0 register, both part of PSTATE.ZA with the caller).
updateNewZAFunctions is extended to generate the following on entry to a
function with either the "aarch64_pstate_za_new" or "arm_new_zt0"
attribute:
- Private-ZA interface: commit any active lazy-saves & enable PSTATE.ZA.
- "aarch64_pstate_za_new": zero ZA.
- "arm_new_zt0": zero ZT0.
Additionally, PSTATE.ZA should disabled before returning if the function
has a private-ZA interface.
It turns that the issue was unrelated to the code-changes, but only triggered
by one of the tests. The SMEABI pass incorrectly marked the CFG as preserved,
even though it modified the CFG.
This reverts commit 8bcf5df3043a906c7124b70b59eda925eddd7319.
Changing the way the attribute is created changes the way the attribute
is added. Now it seems to be correctly added as a function attribute, whereas
before it was not. This led ISel ignoring attributes and setting up a lazy-save
buffer for the call to __arm_tpidr2_save.
This patch also marks the intrinsic call as 'preserves_za' which together with the
above prevents the code-generator from setting up a lazy-save buffer.

The new pass implements the following:
* Inserts code at the start of an arm_new_za function to
commit a lazy-save when the lazy-save mechanism is active.
* Adds a smstart intrinsic at the start of the function.
* Adds a smstop intrinsic at the end of the function.
