We've filled AT_HWCAP2 already and are starting on the free bits in
AT_HWCAP, there's only 29 of those remaining and we get things like the
dpISA releases often burning through 15 at a time. Like the cover says
it's not a pressing issue at this minute but whenever it does become a
pressing issue there's likely to be multiple extensions in flight and
it'll help not to have them all trying to carry the same serieses.
