In the armv8.2 RAS extension, a virtual SError exception syndrome
registeri(VSESR_EL) is added.  This value may be specified from userspace.
Userspace will want to check if the CPU has the RAS extension.
If it has, it wil specify the virtual SError syndrome value, otherwise
it will not be set.  This patch adds support for querying the availability
of this extension.

Code is fine.
