We can zero GPRs x0 - x29 upon entry from EL0 to make it harder for
userspace to control values consumed by speculative gadgets.

We don't blat x30, since this is stashed much later, and we'll blat it
before invoking C code.

Looks OK, but consider moving _for from fpsimdmacros.h to assembler.h
and just writing

 _for n, 0, 29,	mov	x\n, xzr

(could even omit the wrapper macro, since this is a one-liner).

The implementation of _for is a bit gross, but since we already have it,
we might as well use it.

[...]
