IIUC, set_xxx really touches the registers and skip_xxx should just check and prepare
the feature bits. so here using .Lskip_gcs_hrcx_\@ should be more proper and consistent
with other places in el2_setup.h, like __init_el2_debug/__init_el2_fgt which also use
.Lskip_xxx for skipping an unsupported feature?

Thanks.
