The bottom 2 bits of st_other are used for visibility, the top 6 bits are
de facto reserved for processor specific use. This patch defines a
bits to mark function symbols that follow a variant procedure call standard
with different register usage convention.
A dynamic tag is also defined that marks modules with R_<CLS>_JUMP_SLOT
relocations referencing symbols marked with STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS.
This can be used by dynamic linkers that support lazy binding to decide
what registers need to be preserved during symbol resolution.
