[PATCH v2 10/11] arm64: mops: allow disabling MOPS from the kernel command line

[Kristina Martsenko]

Make it possible to disable the MOPS extension at runtime using the
kernel command line. This can be useful for testing or working around
hardware issues. For example it could be used to test new memory copy
routines that do not use MOPS instructions (e.g. from Arm Optimized
Routines).
