[PATCH v2 1/4] arm64: Introduce aarch32_enabled()

From: Andrea della Porta
Date: Mon Oct 23 2023 - 10:44:03 EST


Aarch32 bit support on 64bit kernels depends on whether CONFIG_COMPAT
is selected or not. As it is a compile time option it doesn't
provide the flexibility to have distributions set their own policy for
Aarch32 support and give the user the flexibility to override it.

As a first step introduce aarch32_enabled() which abstracts whether 32
bit compat is turned on or off. Upcoming patches will implement
the ability to set Aarch32 compat state at boot time.
