Subject: [PATCH] ARM64: Add AT_ARM64_MIDR to the aux vector

It is useful to pass down MIDR register down to userland if all of
the online cores are all the same type.  This adds AT_ARM64_MIDR
aux vector type and passes down the midr system register.

This is alternative to MIDR_EL1 part of
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/358995.html.
It allows for faster access to midr_el1 than going through a trap and
does not exist if the set of cores are not the same.
