Minor clarify nit: it's not obvious that "n" means "no conflict" and "y"
means "conflict".
Could we have blank cell versus "X" (with a note saying what that
means), or "ok" versus "CONFLICT"?

Minor nit: magic number. Could we do
#define ARM64_CPUCAP_SCOPE_MASK \
(ARM64_CPUCAP_SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU | \
ARM64_CPUCAP_SCOPE_SYSTEM | \
ARM64_CPUCAP_SCOPE_BOOT_CPU)

[1] This is neat, but would it be clearer to say _ALL & ~_BOOT_CPU?
Otherwise, this is passing (u16)0xfffb, which feels invalid,
particularly since it includes _{PERMITTED,OPTIONAL}_FOR_LATE_CPU which
don't make sense here, even if we know they get masked off.
There could be future pitfalls here if ~_BOOT_CPU by itself is pasted
in other places where the *_FOR_LATE_CPU bits are significant.

As [1] above.
