Suzuki already suggested to hook this into the existing arm64_features[]
array:

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/56748437.2040905@arm.com

And here use something like cpus_have_cap(ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL0).

And a nitpick: please use the same convention for placing the "&&"
operator like in the rest of the file, i.e. on the previous line
(similarly for "!=" etc.)
