You shouldn't need most of this patch.  The CPUID registers are defined
in such a way that unimplemented registers do not fault, but return the
MIDR value.  If you're just implementing MIDR, then you should just
return the MIDR value and be done with it.

(Any location reading the other CPUID registers without checking whether
it's a MIDR alias is probably buggy.)
