[PATCH RFC v2 0/2] arm64: Add infrastructure for use of AT_HWCAP3

[Mark Brown]

Since arm64 has now used all of AT_HWCAP2 it needs to either start using
AT_HWCAP3 (which was recently added for PowerPC) or start allocating
bits 32..61 of AT_HWCAP first.  Those are documented in elf_hwcaps.rst
as unused and in uapi/asm/hwcap.h as unallocated for potential use by
libc, glibc does currently use bits 62 and 63.  This series has the code
for enabling AT_HWCAP3 as a reference.

While we've decided to go with using the high bits of AT_HWCAP for now
we will exhaust those at some point so it seems helpful to have this
code available in order to make life easier when we do need to start
using AT_HWCAP3.  This seems like it might come up relatively quickly,
for the past few years the dpISA has used ~15 hwcaps due to the fine
grained feature definitions and the fact that SVE and SME need
independent definitions of everything. When we do start using HWCAP3
we'll potentially have multiple serieses that need to share the addition
so it seems like it might be helpful to have the scaffolding in place
at least the release before it's actuallly required in order to make
things more managable. That's not an issue *now* but could come up
surprisingly quickly.
