Newer microcode versions have support for the CP_WHERE_AM_I opcode which allows the RPTR shadow memory to be marked as privileged to protect it from corruption. Move the RPTR shadow into its own buffer and protect it it if the current microcode version supports the new feature. We can also re-enable preemption for those targets that support CP_WHERE_AM_I. Start out by preemptively assuming that we can enable preemption and disable it in a5xx_hw_init if the microcode version comes back as too old.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
