Introduce a python script that generates ID register definitions
from the Registers.json file included in "AARCHMRS containing the
JSON files for Arm A-profile (2025-09)". It generates the content
of target/arm/cpu-sysregs.h.inc.
Since [PATCH v8 00/14] arm: rework id register storage
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250617153931.1330449-1-cohuck@redhat.com/)
ID regs are generically stored in an array. Auto generation brings
the capability to enhance the list of IDregs stored in that array.
Registers.json can be downloaded at:
Arm Developer A-Profile Architecture Exploration Tools page:
https://developer.arm.com/Architectures/A-Profile%20Architecture#Downloads
Open Source 2025-09 item.
This patch is a rework of:
[PATCH v8 12/14] arm/cpu: Add sysreg generation scripts
using a python script instead of bash/awk and using a different
entry: Registers.json instead of linux sysreg file.
Soon we will offer the end-user the capability to overwrite some of
them through the KVM API.
