This patch enables building Xen on arm64 architecture using the Clang compiler.
Changes include:
- Add explicit -march=armv8 flag for arm64 builds.
- Add `__attribute__((target("fp-armv8")))` to `vfp_save_state` and
`vfp_restore_state` functions when building with Clang to allow
FP instructions despite `-mgeneral-regs-only`.

I forgot to ask. Is this cross-compiling or native? Or both?
And OOI, how did you chose Clang 11?
