IIRC it is hidden, but will have to double check. When experimenting for BRBE
guest support enablement earlier, following changes were need for the feature
to be visible in ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.

Should we add the following entry - explicitly hiding BRBE from the guest
as a prerequisite patch ?

S_ARM64_FTR_BITS(FTR_HIDDEN, FTR_STRICT, FTR_LOWER_SAFE, ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_BRBE_SHIFT, 4, ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_BRBE_NI)

Sure, already folded back in these above changes.
