Stéphane Lesimple 8a302b56e6 feat: add ARM64 silicon errata checks (issue #357)
Add detection for three speculation/security-relevant ARM64 errata
families that are tracked by vendor erratum IDs rather than CVEs: Speculative
AT TLB corruption (1165522/1319367/1319537/1530923), speculative unprivileged
load (2966298/3117295), and MSR SSBS not self-synchronizing (3194386 and
siblings). Reserves a new CVE-0001-NNNN placeholder range for vendor errata
and adds a --errata <number> selector alongside --variant/--cve.

CPU affection is determined per-core from (implementer, part, variant,
revision) tuples read from /proc/cpuinfo, matching the kernel's MIDR ranges
(including Kryo4xx Silver for erratum 1530923). Kernel mitigation detection
uses the erratum-specific CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_NNNN symbols, kernel image
descriptor strings, and dmesg output (no sysfs for these)

# On affected cores, a speculatively-executed unprivileged load from a page that is mapped as
# privileged can leak the loaded value into the cache hierarchy, allowing a Spectre-style
# cache side-channel to expose privileged kernel data to userspace. Kernel workaround:
# sandwich kernel-exit sequences with an additional speculation barrier/DSB so that
# speculative unprivileged loads cannot observe privileged state
# (ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD).
