This feature value is kind of "FTR_EXACT" where, we don't know what the relationship
of the values are. Here is the list of possible values :

0001	EL0 can be executed in AArch64 state only.
0010	EL0 can be executed in either AArch64 or AArch32 state.

All the other values are reserved. So I believe "==" is better check.
