ARM: 8663/1: wire up HWCAP/HWCAP2 feature bits to the CPU modalias
Wire up the generic support for exposing CPU feature bits via the modalias in /sys/device/system/cpu. This allows udev to automatically load modules for things like crypto algorithms that are implemented using optional instructions. Since it is non-trivial to transparantly support both HWCAP and HWCAP2 capabilities in the cpu_feature() macro (which allows a module's hwcap dependency and init routine to be declared using a single invocation of module_cpu_feature_match()), support only HWCAP2 for now, which covers the capabilities that are most likely to be useful in this manner. Module dependencies on HWCAP will need to be declared explicitly via a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(cpu, ...) declaration.

16 * Due to the fact that ELF_HWCAP is a 32-bit type on ARM, and given the number
17 * of optional CPU features it defines, ARM's CPU hardware capability bits have
18 * been distributed over separate elf_hwcap and elf_hwcap2 variables, each of
19 * which covers a subset of the available CPU features.
20 *
21 * Currently, only a few of those are suitable for automatic module loading
22 * (which is the primary use case of this facility) and those happen to be all
23 * covered by HWCAP2. So let's only cover those via the cpu_feature()
24 * convenience macro for now (which is used by module_cpu_feature_match()).
25 * However, all capabilities are exposed via the modalias, and can be matched
26 * using an explicit MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() that uses __hwcap_feature() directly.
