Definitions in the kernel are likely to exist for a long time though,
as the tool is still pretty primitive and doesn't handle anything that
changes layout (such as any register affected by E2H).

The register list is indeed the #1 offender, and that should just be a
script that goes over all the occurrences of ARM64_SYS_REG() and
replace the encoding with something that uses the symbolic name.
For the rest (shifts and stuff), we can probably do that by hand
(there are only a few occurrences).
