Do these rely on the order in which the entries are listed in the
arm64_features[] array? It looks like we do the same for PAN_NOT_UAO but
that's pretty fragile.

Yes, it surely depends on the order in which they are listed.

I'd prefer if we invoked the
cpu_hwcaps_ptrs[ARM64_HAS_ADDRESS_AUTH]->matches() directly here, maybe

Yes, calling the matches(cap, SYSTEM_SCOPE), that should work and is much
better.

hidden behind a helper (I couldn't find one at a quick look).

There are no helpers for this operation to  do it on a SYSTEM_SCOPE
and this is only needed for caps dependent on the other caps.

May be we could hide the conversion of the number to "cap" as:

static inline struct arm64_cpu_capabilities *cpu_cap_from_number(int n)
{
	if (n < ARM64_NCAPS)
		return cpu_hwcaps_ptr[n];
	return NULL;
}

And use this for "this_cpu_has_cap()" too.

I'm not bothered about the cpu_cap_from_number() part. I was actually
thinking of something like the diff below:
