ok. will drop this information.

ok. will use the definition generated by sysreg.

this is simpler. will use sysreg_clear_set_s().

yes you're right. as spec mentioned:
If FEAT_HAFT is implemented, then FEAT_TCR2 is implemented.

So this check is redundant. We can simply use has_cpuid_feature() instead
without checking FEAT_TCR2 here.

Since this cannot be managed by the software, we should restrict all the CPUs
in the system to have and enable this feature which is indicated by
ARM64_CPUCAP_BOOT_CPU_FEATURE. It's not possible for part of the CPUs don't have
this feature and managed manually.

I make this comment here since it's handled different from what ARM64_HW_DBM does (which
is ARM64_CPUCAP_WEAK_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE). Maybe it's redundant and can be dropped.

Thanks.
