Based on Ben Niu's "Faster Arm64 __arch_copy_from_user and
__arch_copy_to_user" patch [1], this implementation further optimizes
and simplifies user space copies by:

1. Limiting optimization scope to >=128 bytes copies where PAN state matters.
    For <128 bytes copies, the implementation uses non-privileged
    instructions uniformly, simplifying the code and reducing maintenance
    cost.
2. Adding "arm64.nopan" cmdline support using the standard idreg-override
    framework, allowing runtime PAN disable without building separate
    CONFIG_ARM64_PAN=y/n kernels as required by Ben Niu's version.
    The implementation maintains separate paths for PAN-enabled (using
    unprivileged ldtr/sttr) and PAN-disabled (using standard ldp/stp), with
    runtime selection via ALTERNATIVE() at the large copy loop entry.
3. Retaining the critical path optimization from the original patch:
    reducing pointer update instructions through manual batch updates,
    processing 64 bytes per iteration with only one pair of add instructions.

Performance improvements measured on Kunpeng 920 with PAN disabled:

The ku_copy microbenchmark [2] (a kernel module that measures
copy_to/from_user throughput across various sizes by copying 1GB of
data in each test):
copy_to_user throughput change (positive = improvement):
128B: +0.9%   256B: +10.3%  512B: +23.3%  1024B: +38.1%
2048B: +56.2% 4096B: +68.5% 8192B: +74.8% 16384B: +79.7%
32768B: +80.7% 65536B: +81.3% 131072B: +77.3% 262144B: +77.9%
copy_from_user throughput change:
128B: +2.0%   256B: +7.5%   512B: +20.3%  1024B: +28.4%
2048B: +38.1% 4096B: +39.6% 8192B: +41.5% 16384B: +42.3%
32768B: +42.2% 65536B: +44.8% 131072B: +70.3% 262144B: +71.0%

Real-world workloads:
- RocksDB read-write mixed workload:
   Overall throughput improved by 2%.
   copy_to_user hotspot reduced from 3.3% to 2.7% of total CPU cycles.
   copy_from_user hotspot reduced from 2.25% to 0.85% of total CPU cycles.

- BRPC rdma_performance (server side, baidu_std protocol over TCP):
   copy_to_user accounts for ~11.5% of total CPU cycles.
   After optimization, server CPU utilization reduced from 64% to 62%
   (2% absolute improvement, equivalent to ~17% reduction in
   copy_to_user overhead)
