The Break-Before-Make cpu feature supports multiple levels (levels 0-2),
and this commit adds a dedicated BBML2 cpufeature to test against
support for.
In supporting BBM level 2, we open ourselves up to potential TLB
Conflict Abort Exceptions during expected execution, instead of only
in exceptional circumstances. In the case of an abort, it is
implementation defined at what stage the abort is generated, and
the minimal set of required invalidations is also implementation
defined. The maximal set of invalidations is to do a `tlbi vmalle1`
or `tlbi vmalls12e1`, depending on the stage.
Such aborts should not occur on Arm hardware, and were not seen in
benchmarked systems, so unless performance concerns arise, implementing
the abort handlers with the worst-case invalidations seems like an
alright hack.
