Per one of your other patches in the series, it sounds like userspace
access to the self-synchronized registers hasn't been settled yet.
However, if/when available to userspace, should this cpufeature map to
an ELF HWCAP?

Also, w.r.t. my series I have out for ECV in KVM. All the controls
used in EL2 depend on ECV=0x2. I agree that ECV=0x1 needs a cpufeature
bit, but what about EL2's use case?

Besides the typo:
