OK, I will change them.

OK, somehow, I was thinking that cpuid_feature_extract_field() could be
optimised by the compiler for a fixed width of for. Hence didn't change it.

In fact I tried that before, but then the macro expansion will replace the
field names with the supplied values and hence won't compile. Either we
should change the field names or the values.

Its just for sanity checks.

The list is entierly from the SANITY check. If there are any registers
that we think need not be cross checked, we could get rid of them.

It could be called for an id which Reserved RAZ in the id range, we
plan to emulate. i.e, (3, 0, 0, [0-7], [0-7]).
See emulate_sys_reg(u32 id, u64 *valp) in Patch 20/22.
Since we don't track them, we return NULL here..
We could BUG_ON() all the other cases (e.g, MIDR and the other
classes).

Thanks for pointing that out.

I started with linear array in the RFC post. But since then the number of
users for the API has gone up. Hence thought of optimising it. The only
'intensive' user is SANITY check for each register at CPU bring up.

Will fix it everywhere. Thanks for pointing out.
