arm64: Document boot requirements for Guarded Control Stacks
FEAT_GCS introduces a number of new system registers, we require that access to these registers is not trapped when we identify that the feature is present. There is also a HCRX_EL2 control to make GCS operations functional. Since if GCS is enabled any function call instruction will cause a fault we also require that the feature be specifically disabled, existing kernels implicitly have this requirement and especially given that the MMU must be disabled it is difficult to see a situation where leaving GCS enabled would be reasonable.
