IIUC you run this on every cpu in the system, to make sure it's matching 
the feature. Is there any chance the kernel is in EL2 only on some of the 
cpus here?

If not, maybe we can run it on system_supports_hdbss() instead, which would 
be easier for the user to understand it only runs in EL2, on top of not 
needing the above.

Other than that, seems ok to me.

Thanks!
