This patch utilizes Vector to perform copy_to_user/copy_from_user. If Vector is available and the size of copy is large enough for Vector to perform better than scalar, then direct the kernel to do Vector copies for userspace. Though the best programming practice for users is to reduce the copy, this provides a faster variant when copies are inevitable. The optimal size for using Vector, copy_to_user_thres, is only a heuristic for now. We can add DT parsing if people feel the need of customizing it. The exception fixup code of the __asm_vector_usercopy must fallback to the scalar one because accessing user pages might fault, and must be sleepable. Current kernel-mode Vector does not allow tasks to be preemptible, so we must disactivate Vector and perform a scalar fallback in such case. The original implementation of Vector operations comes from https://github.com/sifive/sifive-libc, which we agree to contribute to Linux kernel.
