Instead of checking these bits in fp_exception_el and
also in sve_exception_el, document that we must compare
the results.  The only place where we have not already
checked that FP EL is zero is in rebuild_hflags_a64.

aarch64_cpu_dump_state() calls sve_exception_el() and doesn't
check against the FP exception EL.

We should probably note that the pseudocode does *not* separate
out the FP trap checks, but has them all in the same function.

These comments say that if SVE EL == FP EL then the FP exception
has precedence, but looking at the pseudocode CheckNormalSVEEnabled()
it seems to be the other way around:  eg if CPACR_EL1 has
"disabled at EL0" for both the .ZEN bits and the .FPEN bits
then the SVEAccessTrap() is handled first.

Yes it does, just 6 lines above -- fp_exc == 0.

Sure.

Yep.
