I can see the advantage here in separate id_aa64mmfr1_val/mask but we
could use some asm offsets here and keep the pointer indirection simpler
in C code. You'd just need something like 'adr_l mmfr1_ovrd + VAL_OFFSET'.

Anyway, if you have a strong preference for the current approach, leave
it as is.
I've now moved over to a structure containing both val/mask, meaning
that we only need to keep a single pointer around in the various
feature descriptors. It certainly looks better.

Thanks,

	M.
