[PATCH v3 0/9] arm64: Expose CPUID registers via emulation

[Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com>]

This series adds a new ABI to expose the CPU feature registers
to the user space via emulation of MRS instruction. The system exposes
only a limited set of feature values (See the documentation patch)
from the cpufeature infrastructure. The feature bits that are not
exposed are set to the 'safe value' which implies 'not supported'.

Apart from the selected feature registers, we expose MIDR_EL1 (Main
ID Register). The user should be aware that, reading MIDR_EL1 can be
tricky on a heterogeneous system (just like getcpu()). We export the
value of the current CPU where 'MRS' is executed.

Applies on v4.10-rc2.

Changes since V2:
 - Mark DCZID_EL0 fields visible, as the register is already accessible
   to EL0.
 - Included the sample program to demonstrate the use of the new ABI in
   documentation.
 - Fixed minor coding style issues.

Changes since V1:
  - Drop mask for Op0 in sys_reg()
  - Fix documentation
  - Change safe value of MPIDR to drop MT support
  - Do not emulate AArch32 ID registers
