This is an extension of my previous patch
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20260727151325.1428686-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org/
("target/arm: Don't NOP the SEV insn on v6K CPUs") to also get the
architecture version checks right on SEV, WFE and YIELD. (That then
means all the insns in the NOP-hint space have checks in them). RTH
suggested that a mismatch in the condition check between WFE and SEV
was more important than I had thought, and I agree. A guest might
choose to have spinlocks using WFE/SEV regardless of CPU architecture
version, and rely on them degrading to busy-wait loops on older CPUs
because both WFE/SEV are NOPs there; if we make WFE actually wait but
SEV a NOP then that kind of code would deadlock.
Patch 1: same as previous, already reviewed.
Patch 2: add checks to WFE, WFI and YIELD.
Patch 3: trivial comment cleanup.
thanks
