Basically, is_feature_id_reg() is used to check whether the reg is in
the feature ID system register space. You can refer to page 6788 at
DDI0487J.a, D19.2.66 for the feature ID space range as below:
The Feature ID space is defined as the System register space in
AArch64 with op0==3, op1=={0,
1, 3}, CRn==0, CRm=={0-7}, op2=={0-7}.

But is_id_reg() is used to check whether the reg is one of the ID_*
regs which have been defined in the previous feature ID space range.
You can refer to the table D18-2 at page D18-6308 for the encoding.

Agreed that the names are somewhat confusing.
