arm64/vmm: Handle VM_EXITCODE_SUSPENDED

This is required for bhyve reboot to work. In particular, unless we
suspend vcpu threads here, vm_reinit() will fail with EBUSY.

The implementation is copied from amd64; in the not-too-distant future
the amd64 and arm64 copies of vmm.c and vmm_dev.c will be merged, so
for now it's useful to minimize diffs between amd64 and arm64.

Import the kernel parts of bhyve/arm64

To support virtual machines on arm64 add the vmm code. This is based on
earlier work by Mihai Carabas and Alexandru Elisei at University
Politehnica of Bucharest, with further work by myself and Mark Johnston.

All AArch64 CPUs should work, however only the GICv3 interrupt
controller is supported. There is initial support to allow the GICv2
to be supported in the future. Only pure Armv8.0 virtualisation is
supported, the Virtualization Host Extensions are not currently used.

With a separate userspace patch and U-Boot port FreeBSD guests are able
to boot to multiuser mode, and the hypervisor can be tested with the
kvm unit tests. Linux partially boots, but hangs before entering
userspace. Other operating systems are untested.
