A few small things below from checking against DDI0487I.a, nothing
major:

Given the potential multiple meanings depending on both integration and
runtime configuration representing this as a field seems sensible.

While this does look rather different to the spec it does appear to be a
sensible interpretation - the intent is clearly to have a mask of
feature bits.

These should really be enums.

DDI0487I.a also defines

	0b01	DISCARD

from FEAT_SPEv1p2.  Also this is a two bit field so 0b00 would be a bit
better.

DDI0487I.a also has

	0b011110	FAULT_GPC
	0b011111	IMP_DEF

(the former from FEAT_RME).

This looks like it should be described as an enum.

This could potentially also be an enum.

This lookslike it should be an enum.
