The SME trap handler consumes RES0 bits from the ESR when determining
the reason for the trap, and depends upon those bits reading as zero.
This may break in future when those RES0 bits are allocated a meaning
and stop reading as zero.
For SME traps taken with ESR_ELx.EC == 0b011101, the specific reason for
the trap is indicated by ESR_ELx.ISS.SMTC ("SME Trap Code"). This field
occupies bits [2:0] of ESR_ELx.ISS, and as of ARM DDI 0487 L.a, bits
[24:3] of ESR_ELx.ISS are RES0. ESR_ELx.ISS itself occupies bits [24:0]
of ESR_ELx.
Extract the SMTC field specifically, matching the way we handle ESR_ELx
fields elsewhere, and ensuring that the handler is future-proof.

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 reStructuredText 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.
