Subject: [PATCH v10 07/25] arm64: ptrace: Provide definitions for PMR values

Introduce fixed values for PMR that are going to be used to mask and
unmask interrupts by priority.

The current priority given to GIC interrupts is 0xa0, so clearing PMR's
most significant bit is enough to mask interrupts.
