From: Will Deacon <willdeacon at google.com>

There is no functional requirement to keep the entries in arm64's
tools/cpucaps file sorted alphabetically and, in fact, they have fallen
out of order over time. Given that only the arm64 tree touches this file,
just remove the stale comment and accept that we're collectively not
very good at the alphabet.
