commit b6ae256afd32f96bec0117175b329d0dd617655e upstream.
On AArch64 you can do a sign-extended load to either a 32-bit or 64-bit
register, and we should only sign extend the register up to the width of
the register as specified in the operation (by using the 32-bit Wn or
64-bit Xn register specifier).
As it turns out, the architecture provides this decoding information in
the SF ("Sixty-Four" -- how cute...) bit.
Let's take advantage of this with the usual 32-bit/64-bit header file
dance and do the right thing on AArch64 hosts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
