arm64/boot: Disable trapping of PMZR_EL0 writes to EL2grafted
__init_el2_fgt2() writes one mask to both HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2. PMZR_EL0 is write-only, so its trap bit, nPMZR_EL0, exists only in HDFGWTR2_EL2 and is therefore never set: a PMZR_EL0 write from the host traps to EL2, where the nVHE hypervisor has no handler and BUG()s. The kernel never writes PMZR_EL0, but kernel.perf_user_access=1 has the PMU driver set PMUSERENR_EL0.UEN for a task with a user-read event, so a write from EL0 reaches the trap and takes the host down without a panic message. Accumulate the HDFGWTR2_EL2 bits separately, as __init_el2_fgt() already does for HDFGWTR_EL2, and set nPMZR_EL0 with the other FEAT_PMUv3p9 bits.

+GFXOFF
+======
+
+GFXOFF is a feature found in most recent GPUs that saves power at runtime. The
+card's RLC (RunList Controller) firmware powers off the gfx engine
+dynamically when there is no workload on gfx or compute pipes. GFXOFF is on by
+default on supported GPUs.
+
+Userspace can interact with GFXOFF through a debugfs interface (all values in
+`uint32_t`, unless otherwise noted):
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff``
+-----------------
+
+Use it to enable/disable GFXOFF, and to check if it's current enabled/disabled::
+
+ $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff
+ 01
+
+- Write 0 to disable it, and 1 to enable it.
+- Read 0 means it's disabled, 1 it's enabled.
+
+If it's enabled, that means that the GPU is free to enter into GFXOFF mode as
+needed. Disabled means that it will never enter GFXOFF mode.
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_status``
+------------------------
+
+Read it to check current GFXOFF's status of a GPU::
+
+ $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff_status
+ 02
+
+- 0: GPU is in GFXOFF state, the gfx engine is powered down.
+- 1: Transition out of GFXOFF state
+- 2: Not in GFXOFF state
+- 3: Transition into GFXOFF state
+
+If GFXOFF is enabled, the value will be transitioning around [0, 3], always
+getting into 0 when possible. When it's disabled, it's always at 2. Returns
+``-EINVAL`` if it's not supported.
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_count``
+-----------------------
+
+Read it to get the total GFXOFF entry count at the time of query since system
+power-up. The value is an `uint64_t` type, however, due to firmware limitations,
+it can currently overflow as an `uint32_t`. *Only supported in vangogh*
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_residency``
+---------------------------
+
+Write 1 to amdgpu_gfxoff_residency to start logging, and 0 to stop. Read it to
+get average GFXOFF residency % multiplied by 100 during the last logging
+interval. E.g. a value of 7854 means 78.54% of the time in the last logging
+interval the GPU was in GFXOFF mode. *Only supported in vangogh*
