Kernel/aarch64: Implement Processor::pause and Processor::wait_check
For pause we use isb sy which will put the processor to sleep while the
pipeline is being flushed. This instruction is also used by Rust in spin
loops and found to be more efficient, as well as being a rough
equivalent to the x86 pause instruction which we also use here.
For wait_check we use yield, which is a hinted nop that is faster to
execute, and I leave a FIXME for processing SMP messages once we support
SMP.
These two changes probably make spin loops work on aarch64 :^)
