arm64: kconfig: group the v8.1 features together



ARMv8 CPUs do not support any of the v8.1 features, so group them
together in Kconfig to make it clear that they're part of 8.1 and not
relevant to older cores.

	  The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for

	  Similarly, writes to read-only pages with the DBM bit set will
	  clear the read-only bit (AP[2]) instead of raising a
	  permission fault.

	  Kernels built with this configuration option enabled continue
	  to work on pre-ARMv8.1 hardware and the performance impact is
	  minimal. If unsure, say Y.
