I see your argument, but I was just going on the side of consistency because
we're continuing to expose other features as HWCAPs when the capability is
just a proxy for the cpuid field. I was in favour of stopping the addition
of such HWCAPs years ago, but I couldn't convince Catalin ;)

The way I see it, we'll soon run out of HWCAP2 bits and then we'll have
our hand forced.

I don't have a strong opinion either way.

Me either, or at least not enough to object to doing it - Will?
Catalin?
