Currently, the soc_kunpeng930 declares '-march=armv8.2-a+crypto+sve',
but some compiler doesn't recognize the march because it doesn't
support sve.

To solve this bug we use the following scheme:
1. Define 'march_base' tuple which defines support march, it should
arrange from lower to higher.
e.g. 'march_base': ['-march=armv8.1-a', '-march=armv8.2-a'] 2. Define
'march_feature' tuple which defines support feature.
e.g. 'march_feature': ['crypto', 'sve']
Note: If user defined 'march_feature', it also needs to define a valid
'march_base' because 'march_feature' depends on 'march_base' when
checking validity.
3. Select the most suitable march+feature combination based on
'march_base' and 'march_feature' tuples.
4. Use the selected march+feature combination as the default
machine_args.

Arm maintainers, what is missing?
Is it rejected?

Juraj is working on a more generalized solution. Not sure how it will turn out. It would be good to wait.
